Pros

Build a good relationship with customers as the same locals always come in Get discount on products for you and family Voucher at christmas

Cons

Management treat you like slaves, had people working from 6am opening until 9pm closing (11pm for stocktakes) , sometimes all weekend aswell. They will change the rota 2 days before you are scheduled to work and expect you to change your plans at short notice Usually only 2 people working at once and one of them is management level so the other runs around after everyone Stock take on saturday nights even if you have important or legit reasons why you cant attend, they will make you attend (one girl had her own birthday party on the night and she got sacked for not doing the stock take) Spoke to like rubbish by management and they are all very intimidating Dont listen to you or your requests e.g days you cant work etc, they genuinely dont care about staff No trust whatsoever if your till is down by 20p they will search your pockets

Pros

15% discount Nothing else is a pro

Cons

Micro management I’ve never experienced in 10 years of retail management. They’re living in the stone ages in terms of technology. Hourly staff get paid to 15 mins so upper management will try and shaft your pay in the name of prod, no clock in/out machine so you’re reliant on managers clocking you accurately. Everything they do is just weird and backwards. They don’t believe in employee law, 11 hour rest period being the big one.
