Pros

You get a discount for their sister-store, Superdrug.

Cons

Manager was pushy and uncomfortable and kept saying "what? What do you want to say?" When I was just nodding along with her. I dressed as per the induction materials but she insisted I had to wear black because that's what she preferred. She said she would 'let' me continue as I was for now but insisted that as soon as I got paid I would buy new trousers and shoes. Again, black was not a requirement in the induction pack I was sent. That conversation and how filthy the store and back of house was made me decide not to go back.

Pros

It's a Job I guess

Cons

The pay is just over minimum wage. There is no work life balance they don't offer holiday pay and require you to work on all holidays except for Christmas and Thanksgiving. They constantly add new thing to the job and will never give you a pay raise or advancement. All around bad company that's taking advantage of working class Americans.
