Pros

10% discount (isn't that much though); meet some great characters and make some good friends; during the week the store is not very busy so not much work to do although it can be boring and make the day longer

Cons

Poor management; sometimes treat like a child in school; younger people expected to do more work, especially if your a male; have to work a weekend day; the supervisors (section leaders) get paid 1.50 perhour more to delegate work and do nothing themselves; any ideas or helpful suggestions are shot down by 'know it all' managers who think everything they say is correct; if you do not have a degree you will be waiting years to advance no matter how good at your job you are; constantly micromanaged; monitored on breaks; poor health and safety - three cases of broken/fractured bones within the space of about 3 months

Pros

The people I worked with on my department were amazing people

Cons

The management don't care about you at all or the customers for that fact! There more interested in getting a job done and going home. U get thrown in at the deep end when starting not knowing how to use equipment and having to work it all out for yourself. I have ms and if I get flu I get very very sick and they made me work in the warehouse on my own with both sutter doors open in winter with no coat, gloves etc. I then became sick and needed time off which made me get in trouble with the management team. I then had to be on sick and I also was put on antidepressants because of all this. I then handed my notice in because I could not take any more of what I went threw
