      Pros

      good weekend hours if you are in college, team atmosphere

      Cons

      hard to get time off, difficult to get decent holidays, for example your spring week would be in January/February unless you have been with the company for about 5 years. No reward for taking on extra responsibility, so there is no incentive to do so

      Pros

      As a part time member of staff i am contracted for 4 hours a week which in its self is not too bad if one week you decide you don't want to do all weekend. You can take overtime and it's rare that they don't let you work more hours. They usually want people to come in and work as much as possible from what i have seen.

      Cons

      No Permanent discount. I think you get a 10% discount 2 weeks before christmas in your own store, If they feel like it. Customers are rude, messy. Some customers come in and act like they want to be waited on hand and foot as if they are in Selfridges... You are busy constantly, this can be a good thing but also a bad thing because although you are busy the day drags anyway and feels like forever 4 hour shifts get no break. which is fair enough but when your on your feet the whole time during busy periods can be tiring. if you work lates during cold times of the year the store gets colder and colder the later it gets after store closing :( Some departments can be lonely if it's just you on there. Stockroom can be really messy and hard to find anything.
