Pros

Competitive rate of pay (depending on the area you work in), easy to get promoted; I went from tills, to customer service, to cash office, to supervisor in a very quick space of time. Easy to get transfers to other stores, useful when a student. Good hours for students. Some stores had very positive leadership and good management, particularily Wood Green. Very good training given. If you have to do any overtime its all paid.

Cons

No benefits or staff discount given. Incredibly rude CEO, served him once and he was very ignorant. He had no clue what it was like working in the store or the conditions of working. Very poor management in the Flagship Store on Tottenham Court Road as well as a few stores in Hampshire. Some managers force you to work overtime. Very harsh discplinary methods. No graduate scheme.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
