Pros

I enjoy the actual job I do and I love the team I work with. Have made some fantastic friends. Nice office.

Cons

Management is awful. Workload is badly organised. Pay does not correspond to the work we do or the fact that everyone employed in the role is a graduate working in London. There is no scope for progression even after working for almost 2 years. You are seen as easily replace-able and management don't seem to care about the knowledge and expertise you amass in the job or the time it takes to learn the job. Always expected to show a happy face and pretend everything is okay when it clearly isn't. Head office is getting too small for the number of employees needed. Hardly any employee benefits. No canteen/not enough space for employees in the office during lunch hour.

Pros

Good first job to gain a solid basic skill set and exposure to retail. Pleasant colleagues. Hard work ethic. Admin nature of role means that you do not take the job home with you.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement are severely lacking and unattractive. No offering of formal training or skills development. Underpaid for level of responsibility given. Terribly understaffed.
