Pros

none- there are no pros for working for this compan

Cons

management are rude. management think fear is the only way to run the shop. if your personality doesn't click with all the managers, there is no hope for you so leave now. a lot of the managers don't take responsibility for there actions, instead they blame the staff and take the credit for everything that goes right. a lot of back stabbing from employees who click personally with mangers against the staff who don't click quite as well on a personal level with the managers, they especially do this if they see these people as a threat to them getting more hours then them. if a manager see you as a threat to them they will make your life miserable as possible and do their best to make you mess up, without been obvious about it once had a manager say to me I don't care if it made more money I don't like it managers often go with the attitude its their way or no way, even if their way is not best a lot of managers act as if they want you to be innovative, but in fact they don't want you to be totally innovative as they think you might show them up managers would rather cover up for some employees who are not up to it and shift the blame to employees or other managers they see as a threat to them if you have genuine talent, do not come here at the lower end as some managers will make sure you fail if they see you as a person who could be a much better manager then them a few years ago we had to fill out a self assessment form and one of the questions was where do you see your self in 5 years time and i said as a manager, the store manager practically laughed at me saying i wouldn't be able to fill out the stuff they have to do on the computers or do the things they have to do on the hand held scanners(some of which we are made do, which they are suppose to, not ordinary staff), when in fact that manager knows that i know a bit abut computers and was quite good at it in collage(its all in my file)

Pros

Had a great team to work with in store i was in. Sunday rate pay and sales incentives is a nice bonus to work for.

Cons

Company makes things alot more awkward then it needs to be. Not respected when members from Head office come into store. Looked down on and makes staff feel uncomfortable.
