Pros

The people that work in the stores they are all phenomenal 20% discount on already cheap stock

Cons

lack of honesty as some of my manger friends who still work in Matalan have told me they are being asked to write glowing reviews of matalan by there area managers and HR department so instead of dealing with the issues of low pay no work life balance and a head office that couldnt organise a party in a brewery ...they try and cover it up. I stayed because it is honesty the best group of people i have ever worked with left because upper management did not want to hear any issue or problems just be told how amazing they are. So be aware its not worst place to work but its not all rosy like some of the reviews have painted

Hi, many thanks for your feedback; it's really important to us. Can you advise of your store location so I can forward this to the appropriate person/team? Thanks, Matalan
