Low stress, fair pay and good discount
Pay was good for the role, it was the easiest and most low stress sales role I've ever had. Targets are achievable and the products mainly sell themselves due to good offers. Minimal contact from head office so you and your team are left to it rather than hassled all the time! 50% discount and the occasionally freebee!

Worst place to work
Long hours minimum payThey require you to work for extremely long hours and give you the minimum pay possible Worst job in the world, the management is horroble

Low hour contract
Unfortunatly alot of retail are now hiring staff on low hourly contracts yet expect you to work overtime, on a standard rate. Your overtime hours will have no effect on holiday entitlement ect. I would not encourage this by accepting these contracts.

Loved it here!
The body shop is a great first job! Everyone is super lovely, the company care a lot about the staff and have so many great benefits. However, top management do put a lot of pressure on managers to reach/exceed targets which can make some days (especially around the holidays) super stressful.
