Pros

The realisation how bad some places can be to work and so the gratitude felt when working elsewhere after leaving Heatons.

Cons

Everything really. Extremely poor culture. A blame culture is fostered and encouraged by the CEO who has frequent management meetings where employees are forced to berate each other. Not paid when sick but still have to produce a doctors cert. Employees are only allowed to take breaks at specific times all of which have to be clocked out for. You can only go for a coffee during a designated break so if you are at a meeting and miss a break time, you cannot go for a coffee until the next designated break time. Holidays must be taken in week/ 2 week slots so no single days are allowed. A work/life balance is impossible here. Actually any sort of decent life is impossible here because it's impossible not to bring the misery of working here home with you.

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.
