Pros

Security of a globally successful company. Good staff benefits. Training provided. Flexibility on roles and times of shift work.

Cons

You would have to repeatedly express a desire if you want to get good personal growth/ career development. Can feel very hierarchical.

Convenient but unfair

Pros

The hours are convenient around family commitments if your lucky to have a half decent manager and are not on a stupid flexi contract (those only work for tesco) and the pay is pretty decent.

Cons

The options scheme is a joke! If your face fits your fine, you'll be a manager in no time with no training but if your not in the click with certain managers you have no hope! It's an unfair company at manager level. They offer false promises and keep you hanging there to use. They also promise to keep you informed on matters that concern you and your job this rarely happens, you find out more from rumours and the press. The pay is decent enough although the most recent pay rises have been very low, it won't be long until we are the lowest paid retailers. Also when people leave the company they are not usually replaced anymore and when they are they take on people on very low flexi contracts which stores never have the overtime to use to full advantage so the job roles have become more demanding and unrealistic.
