      So-so

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Hours were fair, you were for the most part able to discuss with your manager which section you'd like to work in and come to an agreed middle ground.

      Cons

      Managers were also at times strict, and incidents such as signing in during crowded periods made for perhaps a few seconds off the first minute being missed. Which was heavily penalized despite the circumstances. However if you were a few minutes early signing on, you were also penalized, creating an unfair standard of being exactly on time. Operating the tills required constant supervision from managers, as functions such as refunds or accessing the tills were inaccessible to the retail assistants themselves.

      Hell

      Pros

      Time goes quick, because it's always busy. Can be quite entertaining at some point seeing weirdos coming into a shop.

      Cons

      Nobody cares if you are not feeling well, you're still expected to turn up. If you don't - they make you feel guilty.

      Don't ever work for Ealing store!

      Pros

      Overtime - the only thing good about working here.

      Cons

      Minimum Wage, No Staff discount or perks, management make up unwritten rules and don't know what the hell they are doing, managers will only offer you overtime if you sign up to the hours they want you to do, if you can't do them hours, they tell you they have no overtime, managers are rude and unprofessional - they swear on the shop floor in front of staff and customers, focus too much on serving customers rather than maintaining the store, if your doing a closing shift, you will never get out on time, always an hour/hour and a half after, they tell you to do too many things at one time and management dehumanize you and walk around all day making demands but don't do anything themselves.
