It's a Job, pays the bills

Shop floor assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the pros of this job (as it's hourly) is that is plenty of opportunity for doing overtime. With a yearly pay rise, 10% discount card (after three months), Christmas gift voucher and double discount days across George, home and leisure and booze! Colleagues are a pleasure to work with and so are the managers (generally), most customers are genuinely happy to be helped but still doesn't stop the odd one from complaining that something is out of stock.

Cons

There aren't many ways of progressing, or as I can see it, transferable skills if you want to look into another career. You're basically doing this because you need the money, and it's (truthfully) an unskilled job. When the management get stressed from occasional visits, this burden is levied onto the colleagues. Impossible task to complete in a short timeframe.

Pros

Great colleagues to work with, real sense of belonging to the company, good pay and benefits scheme. Great opportunities for training schemes and developing skills if you put yourself up for it. Very good rewards system that recognises colleagues that work hard.

Cons

Can be difficult to step on the management ladder but still plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and move around departments.
