Pros

Great discount across Waitrose and John Lewis! Alright hours (if you're lucky) really good base pay and regular pay rises.

Cons

Management tend to have god complexes (I thought this was branch specific however I've worked in three branches and they were all the same!!) I was looked down on despite my three years working there, and often I'd be paid wrong due to the incompetence of the managers and team leaders. The stress put on staff is not fair, managers don't work hard enough, they are allowed to get away with overworking their staff and don't seem to care.
