Pros

- The people were great, I enjoyed working with the all the employees and managers on different days - Training was basic and straightforward, so you will learn very quickly - Flexible working days and hours so long as you spoke to your manager at least a month ahead of time. There were always extra shifts available

Cons

- No career progression as the company generally rotates managers internally from other stores, because of this there was some employees that had remained customer sales assistants for 5+ years - No further training opportunities beyond the first few weeks. Although there wasn't much to learn as a customer sales assistant, the lack of training also showed that there was no opportunities for development and promotion

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
