Pros

I started as sales clerk back in 2008 and over the years worked my way up in ranks. Company provides plenty of opportunity for development and progression, but don't forget to work towards your goal and you'll the support you need. There are several QQI certified courses available as well as several internal development programs. A hardworking, positive, adapt person will have good opportunity to pursue a career here.

Cons

Standards are very high, staff must know and comply with every policy and regulation.
