Pros

Great pay, just increased to £14.56. Management is friendly but stern with keeping you on track on your tasks. Typical mindless part time busy work.

Cons

Floors are huge. If you're a returner prepare to burn a lot of calories. Managers aren't always on shop floor yet you need to inform one whenever you leave the shop floor. Working in fitting rooms, there is little to no signage and customer guidance, so customers often ignore your request to put things back on hangers. There are periods typically the beginning of the year to just before summer where overtime is not available and so contracted workers are often understaffed.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
