Pros

No pros at all. Was not given a uniform or was not trained so I have nothing positive to say whatsoever

Cons

Got an interview to work in Spar in Lisburn on the Belsize Road. Did not ask my any questions at all in the interview, it was just a quick 5 minute conversation. I asked about the training which I would receive during the interview. I was told I would receive four hours training on the till and four hours training on the floor. This was lies. I arrived for my first day of training and they put me on tills, no uniform provided, and left me all day alone. I was no aware or told how to do anything. I struggled with the lottery, scratch cards, energy and gas card, fuel, coal, you name it. Customers were left unsatisfied as I was unable to help them as I was not trained at all. Will not be returning. Not only disappointed but embarresed.
