Pros

Jysk cares about their staff. Great bonus and benefits programs. great selection of product, you are always busy which I like. Growing company with great job security. Close nit company, a lot of communication between all the stores in a district, its great being able to talk to and bounce ideas off colleagues. Company is very driven to succeed.

Cons

Horrible shipping receiving process. most complications in my job come from outside factors beyond control at a store level, and at times leads to unrealistic expectations from head office. Hard to find support or get feedback in a timely manner from head office. Extremely long hours.

Pros

Absolutely none, staff discount is a perk I suppose if you like a cluttered house, off trend decor or broken furniture.

Cons

I can only describe this employment as the worst few months of my life! The training scheme is a shambles with no communication from the HR department and out of date online courses. The stores are messy, I witnessed many unsafe procedures such as blocking fire exits, staff are not correctly trained on manual handling and are expected to carry 95kg boxes alone. The furniture is poor quality and often arrives in store broken or with known faults. Hours are long & there was never enough staff to cover tasks, the store manager was abusive to staff and sat in the office all day refusing to help with any duties.
