Pros

At least it's a job

Cons

Everything. I ended up quitting because I was fed up with how staff were treated specially during sales. It was common for some people to finish sales prep at midnight and then be expected back to work at 5 or 6 am not abiding by the 11 hour rest period that is legally required. I was constantly having my hours cut down to less than 4-hour shifts which seeing as how I had a long commute I did not think was acceptable and was frankly tired of it

Pros

- Flexible hours (except for Christmas periods) - good for part-time staff

Cons

- Employees are constantly berated when the shopfloor/stockroom is untidy but there are never enough staff in each day to be able to do the work - Employees are never praised for hard work, but are quickly criticised for not signing up enough customers to the company's online shopping promotion - Manager does not deal with people well at all and I often felt very patronised - Very nepotistic when it comes to employment - Matters of conflict were dealt with unprofessionally - Nonexistent workplace culture - probably why the staff are so demotivated - Disgusting staff facilities - for the many years I worked there, the toilets were always blocked/extremely unhygienic and had a broken door - Felt like an interrogation process whenever you had to phone in sick
