Pros

Lots going on which is exciting

Cons

Many in upper management are from abroad without families or friends here thus work is all they do and they have no respect for anyone's personal lives outside of the company.

Pros

Friendly and fun staff, always a social event going on. Brings in extra cash that you need. Plenty of chance to progress within the company.

Cons

Sometimes it's a case of same old same old. Managers are typically friendly, however a bad day will often show throughout the store. Till chairs, don't support the taller person, like myself.

Pros

Find it difficult to think of the pros from this company, however the induction day was good/informative.

Cons

If you want a good work/life balance do not work here. Expect to start work at 4am in majority of stores. Other assistant managers will stand on your neck in order to look good. The salaries look attractive, but when you actually work out how many hours you work, your salary actually is below minimum wage. Also expect to move stores a lot, I done the job for 4 months and got moved to 3 different stores.
