Pros

Good new ideas and systems being developed to help teams. Always good ranges and exciting seasonal changeovers. Challenging pace but a lot of scope to drive your store like your own. Improving culture from CEO downwards. 40hr weeks compared to competitors on over 40 and more flexible schedules. Good progression.

Cons

Buyers can sometimes push to much stock in to store that can get stressful but recently there has been more hours to help improve customer service and processes.
