Pros

You'll get paid on time and you'll meet a wide array of nice folks at store level.

Cons

You will work long, long hours with no breaks due to chronic under staffing. When this happens you will get disheartened and then when you are working alone and struggling to hit an unobtainable target you will be not be paid overtime and only given time back. This means the next person covering your time back will be in the same situation and feeling the same. When this happens and people are so fed up they want to leave the recruitment process is long and a joke resulting in whomever is left running the ship alone looking elsewhere and Safestore are left holding their hands in the air and pointing at their clunky training system that is so boring and silly wondering how this cycle is happening again.
