      Pros

      Well paid job, with good chances of progression to higher roles. Since the company is well spreaded on the territory the commuting time is acceptable pretty much everywhere.

      Cons

      The life-work balance is really poor, asking you being completely dedicated to your job. Since a lot of people progress towards higher roles even if they don't have a managerial background or preparation, making the work environment sometimes unacceptable.

      Pros

      An easy job to do; consistently busy, even if the store is not filled with customers. Good job for a student; opportunity to work above contracted hours, at half term and in the summer.

      Cons

      Occasionally strenuous; no specific job role, don't expect to just sit on a till.
