Pros

Get to work with some lovely people, staff discounts, big team, nights out

Cons

1. Shifts are way too late, long tedius hours, nothing to do on the shop floor but fold 2. Management are unrealiable and do not communicate well 3. Alot of double standards and unfairness in the store with managers and associates and favouritism 4. Gossipy and cliquey atmosphere, not nice at all 5. Too much focus on individual sale targets, very stressfull 6. Managers also need to be careful of how they address situations and comments/jokes they make about associates - some could be taken the wrong way (racially)!!!

Pros

A lot of flexibility with shifts, which allows you to have other commitments such as university.

Cons

High staff turnover meaning you constantly have to work in an intense environment with mostly untrained staff. Additionally, shifts can end quite late at 10pm.

Pros

Great discounts which are sometimes increased, good experience to have, get to see many aspects of the company not just the shop floor, nice uniform provided

Cons

Pay is not good considering the product you are selling, unrealistic expectations, uniform not always up to date with what you were selling, unfriendly undertrained managers, too many managers, hours worked don't reflect what you're contracted
