Pros

Love my team and can be a great job

Cons

The constant shoplifting causes me and other staff to feel very unsafe and is very draining when it's as constant as it is now, we dont fully understand what we're meant to do when hundreds of pounds worth of stock is being stolen daily, security hours have been cut too which doesn't help the situation and its definitely getting worse

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
