It's like a family; they help with any needs possible; lots of chances to learn the different aspects of retail; overtime offered; a nice atmosphere

Cons

Can be rather stressful as it's such a busy store; but most retail places have the same stress

Pros

Job was easy to get. You have less responsibility as a colleague than you do in other companies. There is a lot of overtime going so you can basically work as much as you would like. Customers aren't as bad as you think they would be.

Cons

Management is quite rude and unapproachable. You get kept late on shifts and do not get paid for the work. You are not allowed to take any holidays in the months of November and December. The company policies are ridiculous for illness. I was put on probation for having three days off due to a miscarriage. Also you only get 10% discount a month before christmas.
