Pros

There are none I can mention.

Cons

Managers are always having tantrums at the smallest of things because they are very egotistical and full of themselves. They treated me like a cockroach and forced me to quit. This company doesn't believe in 'Black Lives Matter' how else can you explain two managers constantly on my case, me getting into trouble for small things and then being forced to leave? If you support this company, you support racism.

Disappointing Experience Behind a Strong Brand

Pros

1 - The people I worked with at the mid and junior levels were fantastic… talented, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. 2 - My immediate team were amazing, we had great camaraderie, which made day-to-day work more bearable despite the many wider issues across the company. 3 - They’re a strong brand externally which looks great on a CV. & can be appealing at face value.

Cons

1 - Senior leadership is dominated by a tight-knit group of friends of the CEO, leading to a boys’ club culture with little accountability. 2- A clear lack of diversity and inclusion at the leadership level, very few efforts made to change this. 3 - Employee development, learning, and progression are not priorities; growth opportunities are limited and often driven by favouritism. 4 - Constructive feedback is unwelcome, and there’s a widespread fear of criticism or making mistakes. 5 - “Executive” Level Leadership within the Retail HQ function was aggressive, inconsistent, and highly unprofessional. Consistently playing favourites while sidelining others without justification. I won’t comment on the consistent character traits that made you one of the “in” crowd. 6 - Constant late-night emails, unreasonable expectations, and a lack of psychological safety created a high-stress, low-trust environment. 7 - Overall culture feels toxic and unsustainable, the strong brand image doesn’t match the internal reality.
