New Job – Not Sure

Hi everyone. I just started a new job at a DIY chain store in the UK. Job seems alright but not sure about the main store manager. I have a manager, but for my department who I’ve not worked with yet. The main store manager however likes to pull people from their departments whenever he likes to do his dirty work which includes moving furniture, playing IT guy, painting his office door frames etc… I have also been told that he ‘isn’t the kind of guy you want to keep waiting or piss off’. He rips into staff from what I’ve heard in front of customers and staff. Is this legal? Is this a bad manager? I’ve just also found out I’m working on Sundays from 8:00 till 17:00 without a break at all, but can go home an hour early. Why can’t they rota it properly where it shows…

I’ve just also found out I’m working on Sundays from 8:00 till 17:00 without a break at all, but can go home an hour early. Why can’t they rota it properly where it shows the real closing time? Stuck and don’t know what to do. I don’t tolerate managers who come off this way, not for what minimum we are paid to begin with. Getting sick of working for other people now. What would be the best advice? I love working and helping customers, just don’t like being the pet at work.
