Why did you leave your job at Card Factory?
I was Assistant Manager here for 4 years. While I was there we had a Manager. I went on maternity leave and when i returned to work he had left. So we had no manger. So when I came back it was just me as part of managment. You get no help from your area manager at all! HR department are a joke they make up the rules as they go along! If you hve a good team thatll do the work youve got no worry. But when you are understaffed nobody wants to help you out ever! People on higher paid grades are bully's. HR take no notice of it at all its just simply your word against theres. The pay is disgusting for the amount of hours and work you do you are never appreciated nor thanked. Area managers have there favourites and thats it everyone else are just spoken to like rubbish. Its not worth the hassle working for a company that dont care about you as a human being espcially when they have no respect for anyone let alone themselves.Asked 16 March 2017

If you were to leave Card Factory, what would be the reason?
I left because after Christmas my hours for cut to 6 hours a week. Theres no security as most positions are temporary with a small chance of extension from Xmas to mother's Day but no guarantee after that. The pay isn't worth it either as it's minimum wag but pretty stressful work, especially around ChristmasAsked 26 March 2017

I’m on a 4 hour contract and have done 20+ hours in a week. Each week is different and varies too much. One week I was off the entire week and worked weekends, the following week it was the other way round.
