Pros
For a simple shop job, you do get a decent hourly rate - a lot of shops pay less. Even under 18s get 6.66 an hour, which is unheard of in retail. Good as a means to an end - get your bills paid and not too hard. Get to meet a lovely bunch of people, most colleagues are very friendly.
Cons
Heavy lifting is requires, and usually strange hours. I have Tuesdays and Wednesday's off and work all weekend, which means my social life has diminished. I work sometimes lates and sometimes earlies, the hours are usually all over the place. While it is decent money, it's not great and one or two supermarkets pay better. Little chance of progression too, it takes years and years and will not get you very far.
