Ok place to work
Pros: Free food for lunch and discount outside of work

Flexibility of hours 

If it's busy people all chip in to help 

Great working environment with people sometimes 

Get paid extra money on bank holidays and 1.10 extra on Sundays and after 12

Easy to get annual leave , well it has been for me , and you can take days off aswell and save annual leave if you just need a few days.

It is fairly easy to progress in the role 

Most people are friendly to work with.

They do try to work around you as best they can which is very good.

Great for people at school or college or people with children they are very accommodating with hours.
Cons: Shifts from one week to next can be all over the place there isn't a set shift pattern as they work you in and around people and vice versa.

Can be in the same place for long periods of time but this isn't really a con

Very stressful environment and sometimes people under stress can take anger out on you unintentionally but we all do it under high stress.

Very difficult customers most of the time to be honest.

Constantly changing workplace 

You only get a half an hour break and 15 regardless of what shift , for crew shifts are 9 and 8 hour shifts. Also sometimes breaks are very early and you have a lot of time left afterwards on the floor.

You have to pay back money if your till is down more than 3 euro . And if say you owe ten euro you have to pay the full ten euro they don't take that three euro allowance off the tenner.

Most of the managers are nice but some managers can be very spiteful and if they dont like you i feel that you can be picked upon and other well liked emplyees get faveouritism this is obiuosly highly unfair .

People can get away with things whereas if certain other people did them they would not.

Some people have poor work ethic and this impacts on the whole store as if somebody isn't working as hard it means others are having to work twice as hard . And nothing happens about it they never get pulled for poor attuide.
