Pros

Decent job. Lots of overtime every week. Nice colleagues.

Cons

It is stressful and very hard work. Being full time there could very a nightmare, on the other hand ot is also like going back the school.they treat the staff like children.A manager send you to tidy and 5 min later another send u to just walk and pick up clothes from the floor and then a supervisor send u to do exactely the opposite, sometimes u feel silly.There is a huge division betwen management and staff.If u are part time u work 4 hours with no break at all.and you never go out at the time you supposed to do it... it is always 20 or 25 min later, sometimes doing a very boring and repetitive work. Some of the managers are quite rude and unpolite, and not very qualified.Very rude customers.And you also have to learn everything by yourself, as they don't give any help training (8 hours of filling forms and reading safety stuff, that's the training). No chance of any progress.

Pros

As long as you're with good company and willing to take on responsibility, you can enjoy it. For example, moving on to Customer Services.

Cons

Work can be demeaning when you're cleaning up shops floors. Customers can be annoying but that comes with any job with customers. Work can get very busy and somewhat stressful.
