Pros

- u earn quite abit of money if you are okay with working 4-5 days a week and from morning till closing - time can past quite fast when thrs crowd - the full-time staffs are generally quite nice and helpful; so working environment is quite okay

Cons

- only one type of shift from opening to closing with 2 1hr breaks. - busy during school holidays - have to juggle between displaying stocks and attending to customer’s enquiries - you will be so busy till u have not much time to finish displaying stocks - I was in the english department; basically managing all the storybooks; the amount of stocks that comes in from mon-thur is crazy and there are barely enough space left to hold all the remaining stocks that cant be placed on shelves
