Manager in Leicester, Leicestershire

Fun hardwork
Expected to do 100 jobs. Limited hours and lone trade a lot but nice friendly team. Worklife balance is bad. Discount good. Staff retention is poor so hard to book time off

Poor pay, zero staff, 'lone trading'
Honestly one of the worst things I've ever experienced. Rubbish money, completely discriminatory company with rubbish benefits. Zero mental health support. Always working ridiculous hours and having to "lone trade' - meaning closing your shop and making customers angry just to survive the day! A massive chain with no support from anyone above with day to day stuff. 1 person cannot run a successful...

So stressful
Wouldn’t recommend. So much pressure is put on you and you’re expected to do so much despite being paid minimum wage. It’s horrific. Other workers are nice but it’s a stressful place to be

Fun products but a mess
If you like the stock it's worth working here for the discount but it's not good long-term. Managers are clearly overworked and often come in on days off. You're pushed to pierce as much as possible which means piercing children who are literally screaming that they don't want to. Stores aren't given enough hours so you won't get trained properly. Insane turnover of staff.
