Pros

A company culture that promotes a positive outlook at work, Work/Life balance, genuine interest in employees' welfare, plenty of learning and development opportunities provided to all

Cons

Above the front-line co-worker level you have a lot of managers who are mostly interested in justifying their own existence rather than moving the company forward. Employees like the low pressure atmosphere but it's not probably the best way to grow the business, but oh well, I am not really complaining.

Friendly co workers and managers. Streamlined work and products flow that is not stressful to handle. Effective communication among different departments and functions.

Cons

Relatively low salary and long working hours. Tough going work for frontline co workers. Heavy multitasking for managers which may lead to errors and judgment miscues.

Pros

Great place to work, good salary, great colleagues. Senior management actually cares about their employees. Expanding company that is secure and exciting

Cons

Just the weekends and the long retail hours but that's normal everywhere. And only one store in Sydney so not enough career progress.
