Vantaggi
Staff are often a great bunch of people. That's about it, really. Had some good laughs.
Svantaggi
It all starts off fine, they reward your hard work for a few months and then once you're all settled in, the rot starts. Logistics are a joke, unsuitable properties used as stores, happy to spend countless millions of pounds on a massive purpose-built distribution warehouse but retain a fleet of aging ex-Woolworths wagons driven by agency staff who don't speak a word of English and can't read a map. Your delivery could turn up at literally any time of day, and when it does, don't expect it to be in state worth selling. Waste management is off-the-scale, so much stock gets damaged before it even arrives, don't even get me started on the perishable goods, stock rotation non-existant, multiple product recalls every week. Company couldn't give two hoots about stores that have been open for longer than a year, all focus goes to new stores to keep up the shiny impression, reality is that 99% of their stores are falling apart and in disrepair. Quite a few are not fit for purpose with multiple health hazards (asbestos, etc), and generally not safe to work in. The management structure down to store management level is a complete joke, complete lack of communication on a daily basis, conflicts of interest, mixed messages, personal agendas run high. Middle management (supervisors, etc) often caught in the middle and turn into backstabbing, two-faced creatures who will say and do anything to justify their meaningless position in day-to-day operations.
