Pros

There are some great people working there, and you can have some incredibly fun shifts. Most of the customers are terrific, making a shift incredibly pleasurable.

Cons

Management constantly promise promotions, but never deliver. When doing work at the level of a more senior colleague, the difference in pay is not paid. There are colleagues that sponge off the system and do not pull their weight.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
