Pros

good work experience in role to allow me to further my career, hopefully outwith the trials and tribulations of retail.

Cons

Underpaid and under appreciated for the work done. We're expected to have expert advice and work under intense pressure and time limits. We get paid the same as the average punter behind a checkout. Nothing is glamorous about it. As soon as i've found another job i'm out! Worked in asda for almost 5 years and in the 'personnel' department for a year.

Pros

Flexible hours (when it suits the management) Seasonal contracts for Uni students (always an issue with pay when you switch)

Cons

They expect you to revolve life around the store Told not to talk to colleagues Pay is not worth the hassle To progress, hours are long, long enough to kill any social life requiring you stay awake past 10pm.

Pros

colleagues are the best, everyone love each other all feel like one family. the money is good.

Cons

the managers thinking is always tactical and never strategic, managers could pull you from one department and put you on another that you aren't even contracted to work at. managers treat colleagues like animals and expect the input to be the output without considering colleagues opinions and feelings. managers don't care about colleague opinions.
