A reasonable salary, but, 50 hours per week min, plus 10-15 hours unpaid overtime every week
Pros
They have never made anyone redundant, so it's a great place to look for (or hold onto) a job during a recession.
Cons
Hours are very poor, as a minimum managers will work 10am to 9.30pm one day, then be in at 6am the next day, working until at least 4.20pm. Typical hours are much longer. Communication in poor; years ago the company was so keen to expand, they were promoting staff from management into District Manager with no formal managerial training. The result is a team of weak and inexperienced regional managers. This has a negative ipact on motivation for the staff, and means that important issues are missed. Examples of managerial failings include a lack of understanding around Human Resourcing related legislation, no knowledge or training on Health and Safety and Risk assessment.
