Pros

I was nice to meet more people in the village, improve my social skills by interacting with everyone who came in. I only had to work on saturdays so I could still do my college work in the week while earning my own money.

Cons

Sometimes a little repetitive and monotonous, also I was not offered any more shifts after working there for over half a year.

Pros

I live local and I love chatting to our customers especially the elderly. Most of our staff are fab too but some can be a bit off with staff who are older than them ( I'm 57 )

Cons

We now run post office counters which a lot of villagers are unhappy about because the old one closed down. They can be very rude to us but things seem to be getting better

Pros

i have been working for spar for 2 years now and most people would say that is not long at all. as it is not a long time they have done so much for me so fair like i just passed my a level nvq level 3 business and management in retail thanks to spar giving me the time in work and time off work for exams and as it was a joint work nvq. i know am aiming at getting higher in the spar group and one day hopefully reading about some one elles that spar has helped thanks to me and the time i gave them so just to say thank you so much

Cons

i do find that spar can sit down and maybe do better range off promotions as some times the things thay put on there end bays are not good looking to any one that walked in the door
