Pros

Pay is competitive, flexible hours

Cons

Store manager was horrible to work with, always trying to catch you out, rude and overall quite a nasty person. You are always expected to do overtime and work as hard as you can, which is fair enough but when you need something back then its a no straight away. Managers are never responsible for anything and are quick to find a scapegoat. Horrendous hours (late shifts 10pm onto early 7am). Dirty stores. Very bad training. Managers are not interested in if the staff are happy with the hours or not, as long as they dont have to do it they dont care. VERY bad atmosphere in the store, probably due to a very macho environment as there are about 16 males and 3 females who work there.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
