Pros

Loved the brand I worked for Great discount across all locations

Cons

Other units didn't have as friendly work atmosphere When company provides poor customer service e.g. bad opening hours, lack of cleanliness, no disabled access.. you're on the frontline trying to defend them

Freedom to manage own store

Unequal pay on site, long working hours. High expectations for salary paid

Welcome Break Response

Thanks for your review and your comments around autonomy. If it was the perception of lack of career progression that contributed to your leaving, I wanted to advise that we have gone live with the first of our career programmes in the last couple of weeks, with more to follow in May. Thanks again for leaving a review. Justin Morrison Head of Talent and Resourcing
