Pros

- Lots of opportunity for overtime - Can work hours that suit you - Good opportunity to gain experience in retail - Opportunity to work in many departments, e.g. Tills, Shop Floor, Stock Room, Customer Service Desk, Fitting Rooms - Potential to work your way up into upper management if desired

Cons

- Skeleton staff mindset, not enough staff for the store to operate effectively during busy periods - Staff generally unappreciated, not allowed to work over 40 hours a week as the store will not pay staff the time and a half they earn after these 40 hours - Can involve a lot of heavy lifting, especially when working delivery or when rearranging the store - At the end of every shift, staff are expected to have their bags and personal belongings checked by a manager before leaving the store - No holiday can be taken during November or December - No staff discount or benefits
