Good growth potential but low pay

Store manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great potential for progressing within the company if you are willing to put in the work. Colleagues can be fantastic in many departments.

Cons

High pressure with little reward even if kpi's are met it's not always a guarantee that bonuses will be paid. Area and regional management have unrealistic expectations on colleagues no work life balance encouraged actually ted to find they favoured young colleagues with no responsibilities as they can exploit them for unpaid work as once you are salaried there isn't any overtime. Salaries are also way below industry standard.

Pros

Pros are very limited here.

Cons

Dont work for this company. They make you feel like they care but trust me they will kick you out of the door at any opportunity. I was one of the top workers. They lied gas lighting me then made me work my full shift thinking my job was safe. Sacked me 30 minutes from the end of my shift. Then forgot to reply to my appeal for months. Disgusting management to. They have no empathy or respect for anyone.
