Pros
Some nice people to work with, mostly those on the same level as yourself
Cons
It was my first job, and it didn't give me a good outlook for the future if this was what working life was going to be like. My boss was the worst. She was very rude, she treated you like you were the dirt on her shoes, she kept me contantly on edge and stood behind me often when I was serving people while picking out flaws. Once she did this and put me off so I asked for her help and she made me so embarrassed in front of a customer stating 'how long have you worked here now?!' I tried to laugh it off but it made me and the customer feel awkward. Another time I had came into work 45 minutes early in order to speak to her about shifts, as I needed certain days off for college. I had previously rung to ask her, and she said to come into work and I could do it but the 2 week notice had ended (like I knew it would, hence why I rang her before it would) and it turned out she was the only manager in store at the time, I knocked on the glass panel of her office, stood back and smiled and waited. I could see she had her phone out and looked like she was scrolling, she opened the door telling me she'd speak with me in a bit because'she was busy as I could see' so I waited. When she came out she took me into another room to sit me down in, and she immediately blasted me in a very patronising tone for 'rudely' interrupting her, as she apparently face timing her kids. I apologised and told her I didn't know she was doing so, and she proceeded to tell me, and I quote "you just don't think before you do things, do you?" Her treatment was rubbed off onto the other head staff too, as most of them were stern and very inhumane. When I came in for work I was immediately disheartened and couldn't wait to get out, it was like a prison to be honest. I was once brought in for some mistakes I'd made on the tills, and I had a panic attack which really just says it all. I was that afraid. The next day I rang my boss to tell her that I was just very stressed with college and work on top of it, and basically to explain how I was feeling to her but of course she was not interested, and before I could say anything she butter in saying "why don't you just quit then?" I am not over dramatising this either, this is literally how it was. Worst experience ever, felt like I'd joined secondary school again.
