Pros

-Good pay for a retail role -Diverse staff given opportunities some employers wouldn’t consider -Customers from different backgrounds not predominantly English.

Cons

-You have to be flexible work weekends, late shifts, early shifts -Customers can be abusive. In context I have received racial slurs from customers daily which makes the job uncomfortable. -You have to scan fast this then will always have complaints from customers -No customer service desk so all complaints and refunds are directed to you -Management is poor -Company focuses on its profits more than well being of staff -Poor security with lack of english means communication issues and the responsibility of thefts put on staff -favouritism plays a massive role on who is allocated good shifts and holidays

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.
