    Pros

    You get to meet some nice people and make some lifetime friends as well as a lot of enemies. There are flexible working hours which suit students or those with commitments i.e. families

    Cons

    Where do I start? Next have been so insensitive with health issues that I have had. Issues which I could seek legal advice against the company, which I haven't. I spoke to management many times about the issue, including area managers who dealt with it once and once alone. There were times I was left crying on the shop floor. But was still given long shifts and late night shifts which would involve lots of heavy lifting - all stuff my surgeons have specifically asked me not to do. Management at my store were very rude, speaking down to me a lot of the time. There has been reports also of times where they have been able to over-ride the system and make sure that we are paid less for overtime we do. I have also been dragged down the stairs by my arm by one of the managers at my store.
