      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overally good student job.. -Flexible with hours (can request early or late shifts) -Normally easy to get time off -Good breaks well above minimum requirements -Easy going managers and supervisors -Working mainly with other students (weekend) -Great nights out and nice colleagues generally -Decent pay for a student -Hardly any hassle from management -Easy money -Overtime available throughout the year -Store manager ignores staff

      Cons

      -Repetitive work.. can be frustrating to tidy up a department several times each day only for customers to continuously mess it up in front of you -Low class customers - screaming kids and parents shouting and swearing -Little attention from managers and left mainly to your own devices which can leave you feeling forgotten about -Mainly working late shifts depending on store (half past 7 finish on a Saturday was the norm) -No discount or staff benefits -A lot of lazy staff who wouldn't get away with how little work they do in any other shop -Favouritism (this is not based on how good you are at your job)

      Retail supervisor and Operative

      Retail supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Guaranteed hours on contract, progression available if you work hard, nice people. Booking holidays is okay as long as it's not in the blocked period.

      Cons

      Low pay, if you're part time you have to work all bank holidays, difficult to book time off in December period. Work life balance wasn't great. Hours aren't flexible, you work the same shift always.
