Would you recommend B&Q to a friend?
No
Why?
I believe B&Q are a great company but are let down by a few of there store management stuff and for that reason I would not recommend them
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to B&Q?
If you are looking for a career try and find a store with a great senior leadership team that will work with you to achieve that and not hinder you and hold you back.
