Pros

Competitive rate of pay (depending on the area you work in), easy to get promoted; I went from tills, to customer service, to cash office, to supervisor in a very quick space of time. Easy to get transfers to other stores, useful when a student. Good hours for students. Some stores had very positive leadership and good management, particularily Wood Green. Very good training given. If you have to do any overtime its all paid.

Cons

No benefits or staff discount given. Incredibly rude CEO, served him once and he was very ignorant. He had no clue what it was like working in the store or the conditions of working. Very poor management in the Flagship Store on Tottenham Court Road as well as a few stores in Hampshire. Some managers force you to work overtime. Very harsh discplinary methods. No graduate scheme.

Pros

Good place to start if you have little/no job experience, good amount of breaks, fair amount of paid holiday days, good hourly rate, lots of overtime opportunities, friendly co-workers, always willing to promote within the company, good relationship with managers although it really does depend on the store

Cons

No discount/benefits, lack of respect and understanding from customers (usually ones that have never worked a day of retail in their life), shop floor recovery can be long and tiring, can be overwhelming as a supervisor especially if you're the only one on the floor (especially during busy times), high rate of staff turnover for weekend staff
