Pros
As a part time job while at university or school this job is fine. BEcause the stores have a large number of employees they have the capacity to replace shifts if you need to take time off for exams etc. Another benefit for workers who are relativly inexperienced, is the absence of food, its is rare to find a workplace for younger people thays isnt fast food, everything is clean ,and you dont finish shifts smelling of burgers.
Cons
Ones role in the store is unknown. Many shifts i have been instructed to ¨walk around and make sure everytthing is OK¨ for five hours. No real training into how the store works or details on the stock are given. training consists of a video on OH&S and store policies. consequently, any question from a custoemr that goes beyond ¨where is ...¨ needs to be transfered to a manager. Very rude, bitter and bad tempered customers, or people who expect vauge decriptions of ¨a toy¨ to be in store.
