Pros
You get paid every Friday - even though you're not paid the right amount sometimes. Pigeons got into the warehouse and brightened up my day as it was something fun to deal with. Nothing funnier than managers chasing round a pigeon!
Cons
Basically everything. I worked 48 hours in my first week as a 17 year old, but they only recorded me doing 38. This for starters is illegal. My contracted hours are 20, yet I wasn't paid overtime. Again, its illegal. Very negative atmosphere in the workplace, everybody there was grumpy and it drags you down. Morning shifts are supposed to be 4 hours long starting at 8am, but you never know what time you're going to finish in the morning. It could be until 12, could be until 2pm. You never know and are only allowed to leave by your managers' permission. Some staff were extremely unpleasant, bullying went on in the workplace between staff and wasn't acknowledged by managers even when addressed about it. There were 7 managers/lead sales people in total in my shop, plus over 20 staff. Yet somehow they were always understaffed. Managers are unjust, the mojority of them are seen chatting to each other on the shop floor, giving tasks they need to do to others below them. Favouritism between managers and staff members is a problem. Smokers were allowed to go for a 10-15 minute break, whilst remaining staff were unaware of this and continued to work in their absence.
