Pros

Struggling to find any positives, apart from the fact that they employed me and gave me a chance.

Cons

Where do I start? Management are inept, totally inept. It's obvious to me that they lack social, interpersonal skills. My first day at work and management didn't introduce themselves to me. They would regularly come into work yawning. They would regularly complain about other managers. The other problem is that because many of the staff are low skilled and poorly educated, you're surrounded by complete idiots and therefore this isn't the place to progress your career. I had to work around a couple of degenerates and as a result I left. In fact, management are very protective of their positions and envious of talent that they will actively inhibit your career progression. A line manager started whilst I was there, an obviously talented guy, and he was forced out within a month or so by a person who I would never hire in a million years and I can only speculate that he was disliked because of his fresh approach and the fact that he had an instant rapport with his subordinates. Work here for a short period of time to make some money, BUT DO NOT GET STUCK HERE!

Pros

Shares, people that work there, not all but some

Cons

After working for 22yrs both as a GA and a manager I retired and not one Senior Manager form the store could bother their backsides to come in and wish me luck, bon voyage on my next stage of life. The company about 113 years ago was a fantastic place to work, people managed corectly and lokked after both financially and personally, went downhill when a certain Director left, who was the best person for staff morale I have known. Secondly when Leahy started his venture into the USA and spending Billions on it was the start of the downhill slide, then that idiot Clarke just managed to slide it further downhill. If David Potts had tasken ove then I believe the company would not be in the position it is today. Sad
