Pros

Good perks with outstanding work and the job is well paid Great staff which means you work better as a team

Cons

Busy all the time so you're up on your feet but this can also be a good thing, stores can not have enough staff on which can make it hard for the shift you're working on

Pros

Flexible hours, friendly and social atmosphere

Cons

Staff are over worked and undervalued, low hour Contracts but usually plenty of overtime which means non existent holidays (I was employed on a 10 hour a week contract however worked full time most weeks and my years holiday allowance was only 40 hours!) Some management are OK but on the whole the majority are only out for themselves and could not care less about lower level staff. Any issues with management will not be taken seriously. Less staff employed however more work is expected to be done. Made to work any shift they put you down for. No progression opportunities.

Pros

Staff discount. Thats it. I honestly dony know why i am still here but trust me, i wont be for much longer.

Cons

Not enough hours generated in store. Staff safety constantly at risk. Management expected to do 5 peoples work. Management have no control over running of the store. No pay review. No additional pay for running 2 stores for 3 months. Penalised for not performing in said 3 months. Area managers unsupportive. Constantly piling on more jobs and more pressure without giving us more time to do said tasks.
