Pros

Plenty of hours and opportunities to work extra hours. Good co workers Train you well when you first start

Cons

It is very demanding work, long hours, little breaks, and they expect you to get so much done in an unrealistic time frame. The managers and supervisors seem to do nothing and just walk around and criticize you. Poor communication between managers and supervisors. Working on tills can be a bit tedious, and it can become annoying having to ring a supervisor over every time you need something done on a till other than take money.. They don't seem to trust you at all! Be prepared to work a lot of overtime- we are supposed to finish at 6 on a Saturday shift, however for as long as I've been working there, we haven't finished until 6.45.. Just due to poor management of staff, the store being generally messy after the day, and an overfilled fitting room. Poor organisation of staff, poor communication, no trust, a very marked hierarchy of staff who look down on the sales floor workers.
