Pros

- Good pay, holiday and annual bonus - Great customer service training - Having left for University I have found out how important this is in all further job applications and interviews - Improves people skills - Very good discounts, offers etc only available for "Partners" - Opportunity for more responsibility and experience working on other sections if wanted - Lots of overtime available

Cons

- Most staff lacked ambition - I found to both branch manager and assistant manager be very unapproachable - Can be a hectic environment and can take a while to sort out problems/ issues at these times
