Pros

Very social job where no two days are the same. If you like fast paced working environments this is a great role.

Cons

No increased salary for being a supervisor and a lot of extra work including schedulaing everyone's shifts, managing peoples holiday requests, handing the money in the morning and end of shifts. Starting early to prepare the shop. Also benefits are very minor and its hard to get time off

Pros

Friendly and supportive team environment. Managers were approachable and flexible with schedules. Good training provided, especially for first-time retail workers. Fair pay for the role and clear procedures. Opportunity to develop customer service and teamwork skills.

Cons

Work could be repetitive, especially during quiet shifts. Early morning or late night shifts could be tiring. Limited progression opportunities for seasonal workers. Can get very busy during holiday periods. Short employment period – not much job security.
