Pros

-easy work, not hard to pick up and good if you enjoy chatting to customers. -colleagues, most people I have worked with are lovely -hours are very flexible which is good if you are studying or have children -10% discount card after 12 weeks of probation

Cons

-not always a lot of support given in situations where customers are obstructive -as a seasonal colleague you are often not in the loop when it comes to new changes in the system or in procedure -long and unsociable hours- a lot of evenings and weekends and as a seasonal colleague you have to work every bank holiday -often understaffed, particularly on self scan

Pros

- £7.50p/h - Great Colleagues - Good Atmosphere - Checkouts isn't as hard as working shop floor

Cons

- Expect you to serve after your shift has finished even if it means being there 20 mins after the store has closed - Management only contact you when they need something - When you book holidays even 7 weeks in advance they often reject without even giving you a reason why - Customers treat you like crap on their shoes (this obviously isn't the stores fault)
