Pros

Other retail assistants were nice and friendly.

Cons

Managers were rude. They did not speak to you like you was human. The managers did not even get to know your name although we all wore name tags. Managers has favourites and let them walk around doing no work for their shift, they also let certain individuals take extra long breaks. If you was not one of their favourites you definitely noticed. They would make you work in a section that required 5 people to do the job and they rushed you into completing the job within 40 mins. Everyday you would get moved around and work in a different section. They were rude always shouting at you in front of customers. The managers had no communication skills among each other. One manager would tell you something then the other manager would tell you something different and shout at you for doing what you was told. The pay was never the same. Every month you was underpaid despite working a solid 39 hours every month. There was mice in the warehouse and canteen which they did nothing about. warehouse was a mess a health and safety hazard as you had to climb boxes just to walk through to the other side, no pathways.
