Marks & Spencer reviews

There are loads of extra anti-fraud rules to pick up and a very steep learning curve when you start. You have to get your head round calculator maths, foreign currencies and counting loads of money in front of a customer- all while also keeping up with regular anti-fraud detection tests. The worst thing about this job is that you just get paid the same as everyone else in the store. Which is a great salary for retail but it won't take long before you realise you're doing a lot more than people on the shop floor and that a lot more is expected of you. Also it gets mental busy at half terms and summer holiday time. You need to keep your head because its so easy to make mistakes when there are queues or pressure to finish cashing up on time

Can feel micromanaged and like you're still a school child the way you are treated by management Managers will use favouritism as a tool to who is allowed to progress and who is not Working bank holidays Over christmas you can be working until 9pm depending on which store you are working in Your job title is misleading as you don't really do what a bank assistant does, most of your day is spent on the M&S shop floor with the retail team trying to sell credit cards.
