Cons
- Tend to work a lot of weekends. - Very old computer system, but I find it very easy to use. - High pressure on selling insurance products. - In a busy store you are on your feet most of the time, but you get used to it. - Big busy stores are managed well, but often the smaller stores are not. - Lots of back office tasks to do, banking, audits, stock takes, ect. - Sometimes the store is very understaffed or very overstaffed. - Getting things sorted when they go wrong with HR isn't always easy (wages, holdiays ect.).
