      Pros

      Honestly not much. They boast about a $12/hr pay and a flexible schedule, and compared to a lot of other retail stores those are great, but $12 is not cutting it, and sometimes they won't even give you a flexible schedule anymore. Actually, a pro could be that everyone is to some extent, friendly.

      Cons

      Sometimes supervisors don't get along (there is so much gossiping and badmouthing). The fact that supervisors don't get along shows that management is lacking in their leadership skills and that P&C is not doing a good job at hiring competent people. In addition to the incompetent new hires, the turnover rate is ridiculously high; out of an orientation of 10 people , honestly only 1 or 2 will stay.

      Pros

      Overtime available hours to suit Monday to friday

      Cons

      16 to 25 get paid 40p above the minimum wage amount. Over 25 don't get 1p over the national living wage. So 16 to 25 on £7.76 and over 25 on £7.83. No discount, just 3 weeks @ Christmas @10%

      Pros

      staff employed to cover weekends and bank holidays

      Cons

      lack of people skills too many favourites Managers doing a Personnel job should be remaining neutral No discount little sick pay waiting for a supervisor to cash up a till normally after your shift has finished waiting for a supervisor for every little thing holding up customers treated like a child Set up a neutral Personnel office not a shop floor manager who will side with their managers against staff
