Vantaggi
- Nice community feel, all the staff are generally very nice people - Flexible work hours - Lots of holiday - Annual bonus - Partner discount - Lots of opportunities for training
Svantaggi
- Often expected to work late nights and weekends - Expected to do overtime on top of your contracted hours, but on management terms (overtime often not available when you ask for it due to a cut in budget) - Expected to cross-train on different departments on a regular basis even if this is not realistic or supported - Management in some stores can feel a little cliquey and detached from the rest of the partners - Much tighter budget in recent month is quite noticeable, with jobs often getting missed / not done to as high a standard - Development opportunities are overexaggerated - often high-performing partners are promised development and opportunities for management training so as to lure them in and stop them from leaving but this never materialises - Bonus decreasing in recent years - feels more like a way to make partners stay with the company until the end of the tax year rather than a reward at this point - Lots of wastage within the company is very frustrating - often lots of food thrown away, ticket paper used meaninglessly, some partners pull far more weight than others
