Pros

+ Kindest people I've ever met, absolutely loved my manager and most coworkers + Great character development opportunities + Learned how to work in a team and to ask for help + Learned to overcome my fear of people

Cons

- Always UNDERSTAFFED because they want to be as efficient as possible - TOO MUCH WORK AND NOT ENOUGH COMPENSATION (you are not allowed to sit down or even just stand, you HAVE TO BE DOING SOMETHING AT ALL TIMES unless it's your break, your supervisors will remind you of this) - REALLY BAD WORK-LIFE BALANCE (you will be so exhausted after a shift that getting classwork done will be hard, they will also not be happy if you take any sick days or have to leave early) - Rotate workers too much, they will SIMPLY OVERWORK/EXPLOIT YOU UNTIL YOU LEAVE

Pros

Salary is the ONLY pro

Cons

Everything - work life balance, benefits (the pension is the lowest possible amount), sick pay (only 10 days) but most of all the absolutely toxic horrendous hierarchy who are all nice to your face but happily stab you in the back. Will interview disabled candidates but will find a reason not to hire them as their stores are setup only for able bodied employees The Area Managers are all ‘yes men’ and are completely disinterested in developing their teams nor supporting their managers. Health and safety is a joke and the only input from senior management is based on fear. A truly dreadful organisation - take your skills elsewhere - don’t join this awful company!.
