No flexibility or growth

Pros

You learn a lot, nice colleagues & excellent benefits. The hours are also decent depending on the department you work in.

Cons

If you're a go getter, this place is not for you. No professional growth at all. Most people have been here for decades mostly doing the same tasks day in and day out. No employee career development plans in place and no flexibility.

Pros

- Good pay for what is ultimately glorified retail - The initial and new product training in Weighbridge is top notch - Set shift patterns - Other promoters are great and will offer support whenever asked

Cons

- WhatsApp used for Managers to "chat" to promoters becomes a way for managers to harass their employees outside of work about targets and issues in store. - Managers unable to listen to legitimate criticism or concerns of the people in store and would rather paint them as negative feelings. - Comparisons to other stores happen on a week to week basis even if the store in question has less hurdles for the promoters to work with. - Full documents of work given to be done outside of work for no pay. (I am aware training documents are required but a quick pocket guide test is one thing, a near 4000 word, 18 page document is another) - Managers will often come to store to check if certain products have been sold and how they have been sold, rather than ask the in-store promoters who work there - Encourages practices that break the stores code of conduct in regards to aggressive sales techniques. - Demand the in-store promoters get log on information for the store to access sales information to report back to management.
