As a manager they work you to the bone. They will use you up and then throw you away. Always looking to cut your targets. Can be a very stressful environment. Contract hours 43 realistic 60-70hrs

Pros

Hours workable around college/university timetable. Higher than average salary.

Cons

Extremely busy and always understaffed. Breaks frowned upon. Any more than 15 minutes earns you the ire of management. Silly expectations. Scans per minute, time to clean the shop after closing and before opening (yes, no cleaners..), time to 'rack down' the shop, all completely unachievable.
