Pros

You don’t need a pros box.

Cons

Where do I start? It’s a cult. Fifteen years of my life devoted to this joke. They do not care about you at all, yet boast they do. If you have family avoid this company as you will never see them.

Pros

Erm, discount on keys and watch repairs.

Cons

Toxic management, no breaks, if you don't want to do overtime every week, you're disliked and dumped in really horrible stores. Rota is done a day or two before the week starts.
