Pros

Huge amount of benefits such as eating out at places and priority tickets plus 25 percent discount at John Lewis. Bonus!

Cons

The hourly pay isn't great. Holiday system is awful however come next month it is all being changed so no longer a problem. Some of the work is repetitive and dull.

Pros

Pays well (starting from £8.25/hour) Receive bonuses annually (upto 20% of your annual pay!) Learn potential new skills Company recognized for providing first class customer service

Cons

Management Issues, although we are meant to treated as "equal" partners, they often look down to you and show no respect to other Partners. Paperwork signing is a LONG process, and often daily tasks like date checking and cleaning are not done or signed off. Management then scrutinize Partners for not doing such task and give a disciplinary. Management do not show appreciation of your hard work and often goes amiss. After a while, you really do get put off working there. Staff shortages, we often had to work with minimal staff, and not many required task are done and its usually difficult for us to complete. But like in my Pros section, it is financially supportive part-time job on the side!
