Pros

Hours were flexible for university students such as myself and easy to work with. The cashier and checkout systems were simple and the job was not overly challenging. Staff discounts were available for a range of stores

Cons

Not a lot of training when starting of as a trainee. Furthermore, there isn't much opportunity for career advancement or changing from a casual position to a full-time position.

Pros

- Fair Pay - Good breaks - Flexible Casual Hours - perfect for students - Friendly coworkers

Cons

- Untrained and weak leadership in stores management - Overpromises and underdelivers on staff benefits - Store manager cuts necessary shifts to reduce staff cost, resulting in understaffing (around Christmas time! that receives negative feedback from customers) and a bonus to him - Fact: the store I worked at had four people complain to HR at HQ about being bullied by a manager, that manager was then transferred to another store and given a promotion. - There is a culture that HR is scared of firing employees due to the threat of union action and being sued; which has lead to some staff becoming lazy
