Pros
Very busy environment that makes you tough and gets you ready for real life. Nice clothes. Your co-workers quickly become your family outside of work.
Cons
You're forced to start every shift 10 minutes earlier and you DON'T get paid for it (someone call the anti-slavery police!!) if you're contracted 20 hours p/w you'll do 30 but you'll never get a 30 hour contract, therefore your holiday entitlement and London weighting stay at 20. Same if you're contracted 30, you'll do 40 and so on. No training at all,the poorest communication ever seen, there seems to be a little "mafia" running the store. Managers don't really speak english. Staff discount isn't particularly generous. Rude mannered, nasty, demanding clientele comprised almost exclusively of incredibly rude tourists.
