Pros

- Good pay for retail job - Get to do paid overtime almost everyday - Meeting lots of nice people from different countries - People are helpful, especially if you just started working there - Never boring: there's always something for you to do

Cons

- No staff discount - Management expects you to do overtime and gets disappointed if you don't (don't know if there's retaliation if you say no too many times, even though you have a certain number of hours in your contract) - Repetitive tasks - If you're unlucky you'll get a team that's not so supportive and there's nothing you can do to change it (that's the downside of having so many different people working together) - Can be physically hard when the store is full of customers (and you don't get extra help)
