  • Best thing

    Free lunches sometimes but not all the time, free drinks sometimes,

    Worst thing

    Work is stressful, they all talk about you behind your back, you tell one person a secret and then every one know it, you think your friends with your co workers and your really not, they snitch on you, would not recommend working for this company, not treated with respect, head office don’t care, the man that owes the company doesn’t know what goes on behind doors, everything is so secretive.

  • Best thing

    Discount is good, relaxed environment, encouraged to take breaks, low staff turnover. Treated with respect and feel like hard work is valued. The owner of the business cares about all the centres and visits often.

    Worst thing

    Heath and safety, it’s an old garden centre, the roof leaks as well as the floor is rotting in some places, we have a few holes In it and it’s white spongy to walk on.

  • Best thing

    I work with a great group of people. I can ask to change shifts whenever as long as there is a reasonable reason behind it. Always learning or doing something different everyday. There is an app we use to track a lot of things like your holidays, pay and other important information. They don’t really mind if you’re late as long as you get the work done but don’t make it a regular thing, you’ll still get docked pay for it as well.

    Worst thing

    Head office will try and not spend anymore money than they need to so often times things will break and won’t get fixed for a very long time
