Pros

Fantastic ethical outlook, great 50% discount, can be fun, interesting interactive environment. Daily positive customer interactions, high pay, entertaining, a unique experience.

Cons

Disorganised management, lack of respect and voice for SAs, pushy customer service approach, mentally draining, no 'off' days (always required to be 100% upbeat), cliquey, severe lack of communication amongst management, favouritism, huge waste of product daily at back-of-house, deafening music (can't hear self or customers), severe lack of positive reinforcement for hardworking SAs, lack of incentive, incentives removed (including full external 'fun' training days), bullying by supervisors, pressure, SAs treated like children, SAs not supported by management even when filing complaint or asking for help, lack of security (!) and more. As another recent reviewer has said, a lot has changed recently for the worse and management is terrible.

Pros

Discounts, we got 50% off of most items

Cons

Unhygienic, stressful, money hungry, fear monger. Unprofessional managers both as an employee and customer. Never experienced such low life conditions, manager brought in animal multiple times in store, and made staff clean its pee. Customers were floored, inexcusable and HR is unresponsive. The bathroom is disgusting, and inaccessible. I cannot imagine any one with a physical disability being able to use the restroom. It was so difficult to suck in your stomach, then trip on box after box. They BLOCK the fridge and made us put our food in our tiny lockers. Manager is too comfortable with the amount of time spent within the company to ever fear facing any consequences or repercussions. Even fired staff in the past for contacting HR for help.
