Avantages
I was a bit skeptical to begin with about agreeing to my contracted hours of just 15 (this is the standard amount of hours employees are contracted to) I wanted more hours, but it turned out that I was working way in excess of that! In the first 10 days I had in fact worked a total of 51 hours! The manager Nigel allowed me to start early UPON REQUEST and even the CSM Darren and Stock Manager Brendan allowed me to stay late - again upon request, there are actually more hours than I had hoped for which is great! The staff are great, all very friendly and welcoming to trainees - I am now in my second week and have got to know everyone (Nearly) and they are all as pleasant as the next! Company benefits are fantastic - 10 % discount at Argos and 20% at Homebase, which will be very useful when I renovate my garden next year. I tend to work hard and with that comes recognition! I have been praised by all the managers and some team leaders! This gave me a confidence boost - what I mean to say is if you work hard, it does NOT go unnoticed and management are very encouraging and supportive if you wish to progress.
Inconvénients
In terms of cons. I am overall very satisfied with everything from how the company is run, the staff, the hours and my job!
