Too many hours every week for the pay you get.
Not enough staff
No investment in people as everyone is just a number.
Expected to answer phone no matter what, if you’re on holiday they expect youto cover shop if any issues.
No other benefits like other retailers for staff.
Head office don’t have a clue what it is like in shop.
Low contracts and pay for sale assistants so you are lucky to get any one who cares or just a stepping stone for them to get in the job ladder via government work schemes.
