Pros

Good pay, discounts and benefits are good, Good opportunity’s to get overtime Good company to work for Most customers and stores are nice

Cons

Being under 20 I feel that the management really push you and put too much stress on you. Also human mistakes are not well expected, I work in reductions and have occasionally missed a few on the products, this ‘mistake’ resulted in me getting disciplinary action which is ridiculous considering that it has been no more than £10 missed... Also as well a huge lack of staff in my store there is a lack of managers that actually understand how reductions, I am often running my department on a Saturday evening as the other managers haven’t got a clue what they’re doing! I am doing this on under £8 per hour and have requested a pay rise but said that I don’t have enough responsibility for it....
