      Not a good place to work.

      Pros

      Gives you valuable retail experience. Get to go home and not take work with you. Times goes quicker as you are always busy.

      Cons

      The managers are nasty and do not treat staff well. Low pay for hard work. No focus on the individual and no staff discount.

      Very Busy Environment

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Workmates are sociable people and friendships can be made quickly. Mangers can be friendly and approachable and can be understanding of certain circumstances of why you might be unavailable for work.

      Cons

      High pressure environment which can leave you stressed and drained after a shift. Customers can dispute over small discrepancies which can affect the pace of the queue at the tills. It is always busy. No matter what time. Even before trading hours. It is always busy.

      Pros

      Lots of overtime available. Can be very sociable. Pay better than other retailers in the area. Always busy so time can go by fast. Job is easy so good for students who aren't full of skills. Easy recruitment, interviews very basic and no previous experience required. plenty of training. You do get the odd lovely customers who cheer you up.

      Cons

      Some managers have been quite rude - I've been told to do as I'm told because my manager is "10 pay grades above me" Customers can be especially rude. Very busy shop that is either too hot or too cold. Hours not flexible, part time staff HAVE to work bank holidays which means Boxing Day, new years etc. Retail ops have to ask permission from management/supervisors to do the most basic things - void item on till, take a hat off a mannequin for a customer etc. Only sociable because everyone is bored stiff of doing the same job over and over everyday and need to communicate in order to stay sane.
