      Pros

      Great team of people, pay is good if you include bonus and the perks are great including various discounts both instore, at John Lewis and other places too.

      Cons

      Current situation in terms of recruiting is slow meaning can often be understaffed and asked to work at short notice- while you are not oblidged to, guilt can often lead to a cancellation of your plans.

      Pros

      It was my first job and the colleagues at the store were very friendly and welcoming. Hence, I was able to settle in more easily than I expected. The hours were flexible and I was able to change my shifts a number of times due to other commitments.

      Cons

      When I had to work on counters, I felt we were badly understaffed compared to other areas in the store, eg. checkout, stock. As a consequence, those working on the counters often had to shoulder a huge workload while being asked to cover other areas at the same time. At times, there were some unreasonable customers too. Training was neglected too. The pay is good relative to other retail stores.

      Pros

      The bonus is good and you do meet a lot of people while working there.

      Cons

      Getting time off can be a pain staking process. A strong lock of communication between managers
