Pros

Steady Hours, not much else to add

Cons

So many, you’re on your feet all day and you’re expected to just be at the store all day, forget about your break being uninterrupted because it barely exists. The days are boring and the training was barely even training, taught myself mainly. Area Managers are completely awful. I was pregnant during my time here and they were massively unsupportive when I was unwell, even harassing me to come back to work and accusing my doctor of not doing enough to get me back. They call themselves a ‘family’ but what family would make a member stand all day whilst pregnant? Ridiculous.

Pros

Pretty good discount on products.

Cons

Lonely place to work. Management very clicky and difficult to talk to. You're "trained" by managers who know nothing about photography or how to use a camera/photoshop. Sent all over the place to different shops very last minute. Upper management very unprofessional on occasion. I was attacked by a customer and spat at. Called my manager who then complained to other members of staff that I bothered her on her day off! Wouldn't bother unless you like being lonely and being treated like a nobody.
