Pros

Great atmosphere, every customer is excited to be there so it's a pleasure to serve them. Great, friendly team that I miss. Pleasant shop to be in, clean & fun job. Always a pleasure selling Lego, you can get excited about the product!

Cons

The pay really isn't enough for what we were expected to do as laid out by our secret shopper visits. Every single customer had to be treated, not like humans, but by asking them as many 'by the book' questions as possible. We would have to stay late to fill the shelves - sometimes until 9.30pm. Management was steadily getting more & more corporate & less about the values of Lego, and the customers would be aware of this. Lots of elements were made in China at a cheaper cost, and a worse quality (like the keyrings) - rather than the motto 'only the best is good enough'. There was no way we would be allowed to personalise the shop at all to make it nicer for customers / i.e: having a 'staff builds' display, or Brighton-related displays. Began to feel like our shop had been left behind to make way for new shops to open.

Pros

Great Coworkers and Supervisors Great benefits 50% off on discounts on sets

Cons

Overworked in the weekends and holidays there was many times where the store was understaffed and we needed more employees to work High School Mentality with some of the employee's people would have clique groups during work Going back to employees there was some employees that were very lazy and or incompetent and nothing was done about it
