Cons

- No benefits whatsoever - Low pay - Ugly uniform - No staff discount - No extra pay on bank holidays - Weekend staff have to work bank holidays - Incredibly boring - Stressful and busy/messy

Pros

Fast pace environment, friendly colleagues, good working environment, very neat and tidy workplace, management was very tight. Well run store overall.

Cons

The working hours for the weekend were only 4 hours per day. No breaks during this. Non stop as the customers would be queuing for 20+ minutes. Very stressful and no chance to breath.
