Benefits overshadowed by monotonous work and zero balance

Store assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get the first refusal of reduced food. Paid breaks. Can listen to music before the store opens. First pick of special buys. Free will writing service.

Cons

Monotonous work (it's like groundhog day, everyday). Constantly working with no letup. Only 30 mins break on a 10 hour shift. Labour intensive. Pay is overly complicated, Getting a thank you is a rarity. ZERO work life balance. Good luck getting a weekend off without having to use your holidays (unless you're management).
