Pros

What I can really say about this company is that they have a restaurant strictly only for staff, at affordable prices.

Cons

Don't really trust staff, especially when a staff call in sick. No provision for staff discount

Pros

Decent pay - 5.51 when I was under 18, always paid on time! Over 18s is 6.51, which is even better.. Pay wise, they could compete with pretty expensive shops out there! Interview was EASY - just asked me about some previous experience, and myself. I enjoyed being left to get on with it, with was easy when you're folding Christmas jumpers all day! Till work was pretty much compulsory, and it put me into the deep end on my second shift! Scary stuff.. But when I MAJORLY messed up, the supervisors and managers were REALLY understanding and helped me straight away!

Cons

The reputation - they appear to take pretty much everyone on, so it didn't really seem like an achievement to be seen working there. The uniform is also quite restrictive (although at least there is no set logos you have to wear!), and I didn't get a lanyard until a month in! This made it annoying, because the public weren't that confident in going up to me.
