Pros

* Some good people who will help you. * Pretty pay cheque.

Cons

* Half an hour to travel through the Sahara desert, Artic and Amazon rainforest until you finally reach the cafeteria where you will wait your whole break to be served. * Ridiculous pressure to reach pick-rate of 90%. You are just a number to most members of management - management of which are just a group of monkeys, where majority have never picked a box in their lifetime - but will happily tell you how you SHOULD be picking. * Looking to forge relationships with colleagues? look elsewhere - talk and you’re told off by your allocated monkey. * Felt sick? off work for a day? too bad:(( you’re a lucky winner of a police interrogation when you return! * Promised room for progression to train in other areas? hahahahahaha more you silly little picker.

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
