Pros

The pay is great for a part-time, also a big bonus each year plus a good discount (and for John Lewis too!). I received time and a half for working sundays which was a good help while studying. There are a lot of meetings and personal development which is great if you wish to stay with the company as a career. Also during my time working here I saw many colleagues progress to some kind of management or team leader roll.

Cons

Can be stressful, high expectations of staff. Also Men are not allowed to have any facial hair unless they started their employment with a beard etc (This may have changed since). Also, can be quite strict at times.
