Pros

Met some really nice people of different ages that will be my friends. Helped improve my confidence and you also get paid the same no matter your ages which is good!

Cons

Mangers are often ageist. If you are young then you are more likely to be pulled up than older people. Company values are used to suit as and when. They show no loyalty!!!!

Pros

Really enjoy chatting to customers, get a good few laughs! Never met a rude member of staff, everyone friendly and easy to talk to, easy to sit with people in the cantine. Staff cantine very cheap. "Career breaks" are given for any reasonable time off which you require. 20% staff discount days "double discount" days are very much looked forward to. Good communication of store events and feedback on how the store is performing is always nice to know. Always plenty of overtime available if needed- yet not forced or made to feel bad if unavailable. Always made to feel like an individual and not forgotten about by manager.

Cons

Training was very general and time consuming- although necessary. Must remember to swipe in and out of shifts and for lunch. Very occasionally difficult customers, but always supported by runners/ managers. Long shifts can be tiring. Lifting heavy items are difficult.
