Pros

You get to meet so many people. You are given responsibilities and tasks. Your pay does increase the longer you are there. You get double pay on bank holidays and time and a half in Sunday's. There are so many different roles within a sales assistant job, cashier, baker, packer, freshness monitor, warehouse responsible person and floor manager. You get paid for every MINUTE worked.

Cons

The packers hours starts at 3am. You don't get regular breaks, ie you could be waiting 5+ hours. The shifts can be long and if a cashier all day, extremely boring. Customers can be rude.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
