Pros
Do meet some lovely people and get good staff discount. Loads of free stuff, probably too much.
Cons
Too many to list: • No Regional Managers leaving store managers with total control, creating huge disparity between different stores. This also means progression is difficult as once youre a store manager thats it. •Toxic workplace where all staff have become too involved in each others lives, no proper boundaries set between managers and staff creating an environment of gossip. • Upper management too concerned with being positive to give staff members a reality check. Some staff were (and still are) waiting for promised/suggested promotions but in reality they will never be offered these positions, management just string them on for years and years. • Lack of consistency and clear favouritism when it comes to most things - availability feedback etc. • No consistency within the management team • Lots of drama within the team, people feel a need to be included in everything and consistently there is drama about nights out etc • Yet throughout this nobody is ever really held accountable, put on performance reviews or have efficient action taken. I mean you even had some really serious incidents in my tenure and rather than actually firing staff they were just demoted? • Toxic workplace leass to people doing work way above their pay grade! Wether this be training marketing etc
