    avoid!!!
    I made the mistake of accepting a job there (LOL) and the staff were unhelpful on my first day. No one (not even supervisors) would show me where my department was, so I had to just go find it on my own! Everyone was moaning about the job. If you wanted to work on till or overtime, you have to earn it :-S At the induction our clothes and shoes were checked over, everything was fine. One my first day a manager from a different department said my shoes were not suitable. I told her they'd already been checked and were fine and that I couldn't afford a new pair until my pay day. She shrugged and said, don't come back then :-O so i didn't.....lol...couldn't be bother to take it any higher and got a much better job within a week or two! they called me up after i never showed up for 3 weeks and were shocked at what the manager had said to me. Offered me my job back, but I said no thanks.
