Not a bad place to work

Checkout operator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- £7.50p/h - Great Colleagues - Good Atmosphere - Checkouts isn't as hard as working shop floor

Cons

- Expect you to serve after your shift has finished even if it means being there 20 mins after the store has closed - Management only contact you when they need something - When you book holidays even 7 weeks in advance they often reject without even giving you a reason why - Customers treat you like crap on their shoes (this obviously isn't the stores fault)

Business Outlook

Pros

The majority of managers are professional and fun to work with. Colleague benefits are are a plus too.

Cons

Its about who you know not what you know. You'll never be able to develop. Especially on South London region. The new SMP is a disaster and will only get along with you if "we're the same age and have kids" . If you don't fall under that catergory don't expect your career to go anywhere.

Pros

As a standard colleague I enjoyed it. Felt valued, was paid for what I worked, plenty of overtime available.

Cons

As a manager, absolutely appalling place to work. Expected to do way over the contracted 45 hours a week. Obviously don't get paid for that. If there's a potential visit, no breaks and stay until the boss doesn't think they're coming anymore. Culture of calls and texts from the store manager on days off and on holidays. No time allowed to spend training and motivating team, so high labour turnover.
