Pros

Annual Bonus which has ranged from 14% - 18% Discount - 15% at Waitrose, 25% at John Lewis. You are a Partner - and can influence decisions being made across the business. Excellent training opportunities. Training schemes run regularly. Can progress swiftly if you are keen. Selling quality products means the only selling techniques you need are keeping customers happy. Excellent ethos which you are expected to take on board.

Cons

Certain customers may take advantage of you sometimes when they are aware we put them on a pedestal. Management in branch can appear hands-off. Stores are so popular than it is hectic at peak trading.
