Pros

Laid-back attitude, relatively fun environment Flexible working hours on part-time contract, easy to get more shifts as you need Better pay than some student jobs

Cons

Asked a lot to pick up extra shifts, can turn them down but still annoying Not given chairs behind tills, painful legs after an 8 hour shift!

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
