Not great, but better than nothing.
Part-Time Crew Member
Pros: * Free food
* Christmas/ new year not compulsory
* Staff and Management largely friendly and easy to get along with and to know.
* Something to put on your CV.
Cons: *sporadic and inadequate training on sectors of the store that you are not usually on
* Break is not given to you at a balanced part of your shift
* Monotonous. You will be put on 1 or 2 areas for the entire time you work there. Whatever you're good at, though this may be unenjoyable
* Minority of management can be quick to blame you for things that are either accidental or out of your control. This can be done in a mildly threatening or be-littling way.
*£30 for the uniform is a joke. This is not refunded if you leave after a while, rather than if you're a new starter who may not be around long, justifying the cost to get you to stay
*often unsociable hours
*low pay
*( Not really the company's fault) Customers are a special breed of difficult. Some will threaten you with violence if their order is incorrect, most have a lack of patience, some view you as an idiot for working at the company, and the majority will refuse to admit their own possible fault if something goes wrong. Many will try to bend the rules that you simply are not allowed to break and act offended when you refuse their offers.
* You will smell of grease and feel oily. You will want to shower and change as soon as you're done
