Pros

The shops are lovely and the products are the best

Cons

-As my first real job I was naive and when my manager told me I couldn't leave the store to have lunch I didn't question it ( only those who were either favoured by the manager or smoked got to leave) so I had to sit in the box of a back room for al my breaks -Got left alone in the store a lot when a senior member wanted to go Christmas shopping which was definatly not allowed as I was only temparoy. -Trained to bother customers as soon as they enter the store which meant there where a lot of unhappy people making comments at me, but it was either that or get strictly told off for not interacting with customers

Pros

Manager was fantastic Team was fantastic Training was great and felt supported when not doing well in specific areas 40% discount but theres a monthly limit but its quite high

Cons

very sales based environment that can be incredibly stressful especially if you dont get a good manager upper management seems to put a lot of stress and blame on management which can affect the team negatively the pressure on reaching every target could very easily create a catty environment which I experienced on a few occasions when someone was far from their personal target
