Pros

Diverse range of staff who are all fantastic to work with. Always something to do and there is always overtime for part timers. Pay is decent for retail. Great job for students (college and uni) as they can transfer you to different stores.

Cons

No staff discount. Not many opportunities for development within company. No extra pay on Sundays or bank holidays. NO PRAISE FROM MANAGEMENT for completing tasks, only criticism or more questions on why something else hasn't been done. No incentive for staff to perform above and beyond. Terrible communication between management and rest of staff. Not enough staff to accommodate the high workload. Staff often feel under pressure and extremely stressed from unrealistic targets set by management.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
