Pros

Meet some lovely people on the same boat as yourself Most employees are friendly

Cons

Poor salary for the amount of work (21+ get more, 18-21 get less and under 18 get the least for the same work) Awkward hours (most 6-10pm shifts are contracted on under 18s) Mess! Supervisors and Managers often put themselves above you. No extra pay, regardless of holidays or weekends - Christmas staff contracted to work boxing day with no extra pay Inconsiderate of students (shifts at unreasonable times) Fixed rotas Minimal holiday time and are very strict about letting people have a day off regardless of reasons A lot of staff slack and make one person do all the work No benefits or discounts Miserable and repetitive job Most customers are rude and unkind

Pros

friendly staff that are always around if unsure what tasks to do or if a customer has a query and you do not know the answer. very supporting and great teamwork between staff on each department. great pay considering i am 18 and getting paid 6.50 when the minimum wage for my age is £5.10! always a chance to pick up extra shift/hours as the store is always busy

Cons

management can be poor in organizing people into the right departments get the odd members of staff that are a lazy but overall.. great place to start if you're young and haven't got any work experience on your cv yet.
