FAQs

Retail is not a nine to five, Monday to Friday job. It involves some late nights and also working at weekends when you will be managing the competing demand of customers and fellow Partners in a fast paced retail shop floor environment.

Also please be aware that one of the minimum criteria for admission onto the scheme is that you agree to be relocated anywhere within your chosen region for at least the first 12 months.

The salary for the scheme is £25,000 and also carries with it a profit related bonus, which equated to an additional nine weeks pay in 2011.
