Pros

Sometimes people come to the foyer and give out food.

Cons

Recruits heavily from overseas. Probably 50% of the company is Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) or Accenture. Fake deadlines are created and fake work is done. There is strict deference to management hierarchy that I haven't seen anywhere else. Upper management will tell you to #BeYourself and #OwnIt etc. Middle management will tell you to #ShutUp and #SitDown. No good deed goes unpunished. Don't expect to get anything done. On the plus side this company isn't going anywhere. On the down side this company isn't going anywhere.

Pros

Friendly and supportive team environment. Managers were approachable and flexible with schedules. Good training provided, especially for first-time retail workers. Fair pay for the role and clear procedures. Opportunity to develop customer service and teamwork skills.

Cons

Work could be repetitive, especially during quiet shifts. Early morning or late night shifts could be tiring. Limited progression opportunities for seasonal workers. Can get very busy during holiday periods. Short employment period – not much job security.
