-Poorly organised management
-Most managers are passive aggressive or just damn right rude - they treat employees with little respect, you are treated more as a commodity than a person. Little appreciation from managers. They seem to care more about sale targets and the latest clothing items of the week.
-Rotas are chopped and changed even the day before - without anyone giving you notice. You are expected just to be aware of your change in shifts
-Extremely inflexible and draining. Often you will get given shifts that don't match with your availability. I wouldn't recommend this job for a full-time student. Before you know it, it will take over your life and you WILL feel unhappy. i.e. your contract will be minimum 16 hours a week, but you will be given 20+ hours a week. Don't even think about booking time off/Christmas off without a resistance from managers
-Don't expect to finish on time. You will be expected to finished 1-3 hours over your shift. No negotiation. No prior notification. Due to working extra hours on a shift you will not have the appropriate breaks due to you = slave labour
-At least 3-4 people quit every week since store opening. Self explanatory. The store will continue to have a high-turnover because working conditions are terrible. Most people carry on at the store for the money besides that, staff clearly don't enjoy being there.
