It's true, even with our great propositions like Fast Track, without our people giving a brilliant service to our customers then we wouldn't be the organisation we are. Thanks for taking the time to review.

Pros

Manager was nice. Hours were flexible. The job isn't hard when there aren't a lot of customers. There's always something to do.

Cons

Staff weren't very welcoming. Job very stressful when there are lots of customers. Reluctant to ask for help when I struggled with something because other staff were rude and made me feel bad.

Pros

Thorough training provided prior to start and on the job. Flexible working hours. Offered permanent position upon contract end.

Cons

Working in the stockroom is quiet, lonely and very hard work during busy times. Often required to lift heavy items by myself.

Hi, thanks for giving us some feedback, it's really appreciate. Having worked in that stockroom myself, I know what you're saying about it being hard work at busy times. The days sure went quick though ;)
