Pros

Get to meet great people; both staff and customers staff discount uniform allowance on stock They will match £ for £ fundraising for charity

Cons

Contract hours are often less than you end up working and only get paid holiday for contracted hours. Holidays must be booked at the beginning of the year Often asked to 'step up' into more senior roles but don't get any rewards or recognition for doing so Manager training is minimal and so junior managers only learn the style of manager they are under Managers are often young and lack experience and/or professionalism Pay isn't great Staff discount is capped Always under pressure to push store orders Worked in a couple of stores and organisation is always lacking. Rotas constantly being changed and only put up at the end of he week for he following week. Rather than spend time training newer staff members, people who have more experience and knowledge carry the burden of lots of tasks for the same wage. A mindset that the customer "is at it" for wanting to return faulty items.
