Easiest job I've ever had.

Retail operative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Uncomplicated, straightforward work. Great first job. Doing overtime will give you experience in several departments, and is made available to all staff on a first come first served basis.

Cons

Not many chances to climb the ladder, and although you might cover other departments, you usually end up stuck in whichever department you've been assigned to.
