Pros

A simple job where if you can get on well with others is not as bad as it seems. Staff age ranges wildly but this is no cause to issue.

Cons

The occasional bad egg customer comes along and makes the rest of your day that bit more worse off, however, this can be expected in retail.

Pros

Can meet some nice people. If you work well managers are happy to praise you for your good work

Cons

Sometimes workload is strenuous. Can be a hostile environment if you are new. Sometimes you get left to do your job with no guidance. I had no training to tell me about my job role. Just was told what to do and then left to it. Poor training and guidance bad if you have never been in retail before. Also had to take time off for bereavement. They said unless it's immediate family no can do! Which is unacceptable!

Pros

Very well organized. I like working there very much. They have been quite flexible in working hours. They offer quite a lot overtime to employees as well as the possibility to travel and open other stores.

Cons

It is a quite a hierarchy right there and if you want to go up the line you need to "know" the right person. I find this very old-school way of getting promoted, but may be this is the case just in this store.
