Cons

Shifts can sometimes be inconsistent and depend on store needs. Work can get busy during peak hours. Limited career progression in part-time roles.

Pros

It's nice working with the team and learning new tasks everyday on how to handle online orders, reductions and providing excellent customer service.

Cons

Our store is busy so it's a lot running here and there but it's good to have transferable skills working in a fast-paced environment.
