Sales Assistant in Elgin, Moray

alright
It was an okay place to work, except the hours kept getting cut because they couldn't afford to pay everyone. The closing shifts would take way too long and had to stay for hours after closing sometimes. Questionable management too.

Mixed
It’s okay management could be better but you do get free food on breaks, team leaders need more training as some are very inexperienced in dealing with pressure.

Terrible place to work avoid at all costs really not worth the time or effort poor management and poor morale across the shops with area managers having no care
