Pros

10% discount, till system is easy to use

Cons

Management is horrendous. They are cowardly and will often hide critiques till the last second. Instead of pointing out easy to fix mistakes at the time they choose to wait till the last second to berate you for them. They also don't trust staff at all, you're expected to label everything you buy or bring into the store and bag searches at the start and end of shift are mandatory. Very little proper training, just some e-learning courses. Very little understanding of it's customer base, constantly sending in stock that will never sell and then getting annoyed the backshop is full and the shelf's are over stocked. Also understaffed, with only a manager and one retail assistant (maybe 2 if you're lucky) on at a time.

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.
