Pros

Organised product set up and display and easy structure to pick up. Ok pay and working hours. I can't think of anything else

Cons

Poor lower management (at least in the branch I was in). The assistant manager hid an item in his pocket in the trolley test and then said I failed the test due to missing the item. I had to bring this to the manager.... It was not my job to check people's pockets!!! This sort of thing should not be allowed.

Pros

Good experience (You leave with plenty of skills to put on your CV; Warehouse, till, bakery ect) Decent pay Great co workers and a really friendly manager probably made the experience much easier for me Always busy so it never really gets boring

Cons

When on the till you have to meet an item per second time limit Long hours (One time when the big boss came to visit we had to stay until 1AM to make sure everything was perfect... I had to start another 10 hour shift at 6AM) I was also employed on a 16 hour contract but found myself working 40 hours every week a couple of weeks after starting. Expected to do everything. At once. Not enough staff to cover
