Horrible place to work.
If you want to have a home life. This is not the job for you. You are not paid hourly, you are paid based on services you provide. You will be belittled daily, no support from supervisor. If you like a micromanager and not knowing what to do on a daily basis, then this is the job for you. You will work 50-60 hours weeks, evenings and weekends as well. While your superiors work 9-5 and no weekends. I would not recommend this job.
ProsNone
ConsPay Work life high case loads poor management

Do not recommend
I have worked for this company for a year and have not been given full-time status despite the fact that I work 50 plus hours a week. The pay is good if you are willing to put in the hours, but there is little to no chance for advancement within the company.
ProsYou make your own schedule
ConsLong hours, drama

Conspay was less than other agencies and little chance of advancement in the agency

I enjoy working with the other person and being able to put smiles on the babies faces..challanging but rewarding
Very busy with small children. I love them but it is not the career that I am looking for long time. I work well with my co worker and being able to rely on each other and know what needs to be done without each other asking makes the work environment good.
ProsWorking at home
ConsNo benifits

Feels like a family
I worked at Homebase in Wrexham for 4 and a bit years.
I suppose it depends on who you ask and what their job was but my experience is from Showrooms, Store Support and Delivery Driving.
Although minimum wage, this was the happiest I'd ever been in a job.
No matter what branch you go in to, Homebase feels like a family and the management were always supportive and afforded me opportunities to grow.
Unfortunately, the conditions affecting retail these days meant that I can't give Homebase full marks on job security, but despite aspiring to earning a higher wage/ salary - if my branch was still open, I'd most likely still be working there.
I'd highly recommend this retailer to anyone, particularly youngsters looking for a door into working life. If you're willing to put the effort in, Homebase will support your development.

It’s a nice job, good to start off for school leavers and for people that want to take part retirement. However full time jobs are rare.
