Pros

if you enjoy customer based jobs this is ok. The pay is higher than other retail. The day goes quick as you are very busy doing a variety of jobs. Each store will be a different experience depending on having a good team.

Cons

The store i worked at had 3 people off sick. 2 had bad backs. you are expected to be working fast on the till very quick without much training. you have to do all store jobs, cleaning, till, stockroom, shelve filling,

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
