Business Outlook

Pros

The hours were good. Anf having the weekends off was nice but not worth the treatment you got during the day

Cons

Applied for retail supervisor position n went to interview. Was never told my position till my first day and then was told i was a cashier. The supervisor a nd other cashier need to learn how to teain and talk to people not talk down to them. I can honestly say that it was the worst job ever.

Pros

Large enough of a company that you can hide under the radar for years

Cons

Glass ceiling if you're not British or related to senior leadership. All IT leaders are extremely political and terrified of making decisions.
