Best thing
People I work with are great and we all get on really well as a team. This extends to a regional perspective where everyone knows each other and would cover another store if necessary. Regional manager is very present, popping in at least once every 2 weeks and deals with all problems very quickly if they can't be dealt with in store. The benefits are really good and we get discount of technology, food etc. There are good opportunities to progress even if you don't have any qualifications with vacancies popping up regularly in a variety of different fields. Furthermore, I have been there 2 years and have been promoted to a responsible colleague role. It's a very flexible working environment so if you need a certain day off then they'll just change you to a different day - shifts vary by week so you get good variety of working lates and earlies or if you prefer to work a specific time of day then they'll happily comply.

The management don't respect the fact you may not want to work overtime. No chance of moving to a different role within the store for e.g. stockroom to tills even though other people are. Inconsistencies with rules between every manager which causes issues.
