Pros

- meeting/helping the customers. Most being very friendly and chatty. - Always busy so never got bored or fed up with my assigned department -Friendly staff members, supervisors and managers.

Cons

- Hiring very young staff, many of which would turn up when it pleased them. As a result the hard working employees suffered because they were relied on the most. - Having to tidy more than one department because short staffed. - Not always getting recognition for hard work. - Extra shifts not necessarily shared out equally. - Store not treated well by some customers, it's always left messy. - No staff discount!

Pros

No pressure to do extra shifts Generally positive environment to work in Meeting and speaking to complete strangers, and making some impact on their day Getting to know the regular customers well and being able to just have a general chit-chat about nothing in particular Being able to speak to management whenever you come across something that could be improved or changed - whether it be procedures or the mannequins

Cons

The typical retail worker's nightmare - awkward customers When understaffed, the tasks being given to each member of staff can sometimes be a bit overwhelming Lack of communication about change of procedures, although this has really improved over the past few months!
