Pros

Can sometimes get overtime Clocking in to receive an accurate payment

Cons

Poor management who give no praise or recognition to staff working to a excellent standard. Management stand around talking about non work related topics. The only way to progress within the company at this particular store is to become a 'favourite' of management. Quite often nitpicking on particular people. Scruffy uniform, double standards and lack of common certisy. No respect for employees like my self who have chronic illnesses.

Pros

The store I was at was a really enjoyable place to work. Obviously it was tiring and you're on your feet the whole time and cannbe doing repetetive tasks..but that's kind of to be expected. Personally found always being busy good as didn't get too bored.

Cons

Sometimes have to stay 10-15 mine after closing time to carry on tidying store. Times of breaks not always consistent when working 8hr shifts. E.g. may have to take lunch break at 11am for an hour.
