Pros

overtime available equal opportunities employer our store had a good staff room with pool table, tv and good kitchen area always got your breaks to meet legal standards isn't 0hour so always promised the same hours each week some stores do offer night shifts paid holidays (i got around 13 days a year)

Cons

very understaffed have been cautioned on tattoos/piercings/hair colour and makeup despite having reminds how to treat its customers all the same for their appearance inappropriate uniform for the working conditions our air con had been broken for over a year and a half and i was asked to wear long sleeves to cover tattoos very pushy with overtime to meet standards if understaffed no discounts to staff apart from at christmas no double time etc my store was above mim wage as it was a city store but i know most aren't expected to train new staff (most companies this is supervisors or managements job)

Pros

I didnt like anything about this job as i was treated badly and screamed at for stacking one box wrongly. (When u make a mistake, u go back and fix it !)

Cons

The people that work there are very sloppy and have very bad tempers (need more communication!) the way i was treated i didnt like

Pros

- Quite easy to get a job with them, decent hours with potential to get more overtime - All the staff, supervisors and managers were very nice - Able to internally progress in the store

Cons

- Management were not very motivating, just expected you to get the job done within a short amount of time - Managers weren't always understanding. As a student, managers would still expect you to do overtime for them despite it being exam season
