Pros

Flexible working hours. Training with new tech. Variety of products to work with to meet your interests. Good hourly pay for retail work.

Cons

Heavy lifting occasionally. Rush hours can be intense. Warning system implemented when someone is not hitting targets. You feel constantly worried rather than encouraged to do well.

Pros

There aren't many to think of, maybe that they expose you to the world of commerce and you learn how not to manage teams

Cons

The low discount, low amount of training, poor amount of investment into staff, laziness of management, poor customer service, no consistency with standards...

Pros

Good and constant interaction with a variety of customers, you also get to see how it all works behind the scenes.

Cons

You have a headset which controls you from the start of your shift to the end, every 'pick' is monitored and a whole range of analysis is available to the manager. So if you take too long on a pick, he/she will know and chances are your in trouble.
