Pros

Overtime is always available pay is JUST above national minimum wage good for a first time job- just to get your self on the employment ladder.

Cons

Poor management - my till number has not worked for months and it is not be corrected despite continuous prompting. Can get bullied into overtime and made to come up with detailed excuses as to why you cant work outside your normal hours supervisors usually begin to be nice and friendly but very quickly turn into unapproachable and unfriendly people - which isn't good when they are meant to be there when you need help or have any problems. There is NO BENEFITS. when I started working there I was told my shoes were fine, until a few months ago i was told they were infact not fine (after one year of employment) therefore I had to purchase some new shoes or risk loosing my job. we also have to pay for our own uniform despite it mainly being from Primark.
