Not awful, but could be better

Pros

Money is decent, the work isn't difficult and you can make some great friends there as I did. You will learn much about the retail sector and customer service!

Cons

Very poor management, with a distinct lack of accountability. You can't report bullying by a manager as they are all in each other's pockets. Staff are expected to clean the store to an inch if a state manager comes in for a look, and everyone is to pretend the store always looks like that. Why sugar coat it? Lack of money meant cut shifts, and twice as much pressure to do two peoples job when on shift. Managers often hired their own kids or friends and gave them desirable shifts and hours. A culture of managers getting drunk with staff also meant favoritism for opportunities to progress, giving the rest of us quiet ones who didn't party no chance and always feeling on the outer whilst they would discuss who had done what the night before.

Pros

A good supportive team environment. Many of my coworkers have become lifelong friends. They also provide exceptional training and experience!

Cons

Shifts are determined by budgeting restraints so often when it's quiet you can be left without shifts.
