Pros

Great pay, time and a half on Sunday, double time on Bank holidays. If you're good you'll be moved up or around very quickly.

Cons

Morning staff generally start at 3,4,5 am. Expectation that you pretty much run everywhere you go and have everything finished in two seconds. Keep the till queues short so customers don't have to wait but also bombard them with conversation, various cards / leaflets and then make sure they press the happy or not buttons.

Pros

Good wage and good ethos in and out of the working hours made some good friends working with great people

Cons

Boss usually was undermined my work and that was one of the reasons why I left my post and another was to concentrate on my education

Cons

Area managers will lie and cheat to motivate employees and management Unrealistic expectations with regards tasks in time allowed Everyone is just covering their tracks and making it look like their job is being done Loyalty to staff is non existent
