A job is a job
Pros: While working through my degree the company offered a steady income, obviously not amazing pay but it really helped and working part time it was easy to work flexible hours in order to keep up with University work.

Meeting new people is easy and because you are working with customers its great experience for your CV and building up contacts later on.
Cons: You cant deny that its not hard work. The store would have hundreds of customers per day and a lot of the time you found it hard to stop and take a break. If you werent serving customers on tills you were stocking up the cabinets, cleaning the floor, helping another area of the store or taking out the bins.

I fully believe that over several years with the store, the true value of money and hard work really became engrained in my work ethic and it helped me to succeed at university.. That being said it was never my plan to stay for longer than needed. Pay as mentioned before is not great, above minmum wage but not exactly high.
