Hard work, but good people and decent pay

Retail store assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good base pay Great people Extra pay for bank holidays and night hours Paid breaks Upfront about work culture and what is expected

Cons

Expect 100% everyday as business thrives on employee efficiency. This isn't initially a con but can become one as targets and expectations increase and strain is put on employees. Very hierarchical 1 1/2 paid break for 8-10 shifts (Possibility of an extra half hour unpaid, however in my two years I have only seen this done once) Can be physically and mentally draining

Business Outlook

Pros

Some decent coworkers, helpful store manager.

Cons

Some store assistants acting like they're the manager, other managers judgement. I got called lazy, stupid and a whole bunch of nasty comments, its been my first month and I'm expected to get everything perfect and done on time other wise I get yelled at by the assistant, deputy managers and for training I watched a 5 min video and was on the floor once the video was done. I get told to do things in so many different ways and deadlines, I now also have to remember how each person likes me to do it.
