Pros

It was my first job and the colleagues at the store were very friendly and welcoming. Hence, I was able to settle in more easily than I expected. The hours were flexible and I was able to change my shifts a number of times due to other commitments.

Cons

When I had to work on counters, I felt we were badly understaffed compared to other areas in the store, eg. checkout, stock. As a consequence, those working on the counters often had to shoulder a huge workload while being asked to cover other areas at the same time. At times, there were some unreasonable customers too. Training was neglected too. The pay is good relative to other retail stores.
