Pros

Fun to work with happy kids when they get toys

Cons

Awful company who abuse the staff. I was told the shop was to their standard but they couldn't tell me what that standard was. My training was me doing another incompetent managers job while being taught nothing then nothing is to their exacting specific standard which is a secret and even though im smashing targets its all not good enough. The management are playing at being managers and don't know whats they're doing.

Pros

I enjoy working with people and because of the nature of the shop, I tend to work with many children which I like. I also get to meet people from all over the world which is very interesting and I demonstrate many gadgets and toys which is fun.

Cons

The hours and pay are not enough to sustain me, and because I have two chronic conditions, working very long hours every day in a setting where I am constantly standing is problematic.

Pros

Some decent colleagues and can be fun occasionally if you have a fun manager. Not much to say just have to fill this section

Cons

Couldn't care less about their staff Terrible pay Over hire and give nearly no hours Don't listen to staff If you question how something is done or disagree with management even for safety concerns you will be punished by hours being cut Stupid kpis that involve you asking for charity even if you don't feel comfotable doing it Made to sell faulty products that the company knows have faults but would you have to pretend you have never seen a faulty one even though there is 20 out back that have been returned. Management don't trust their staff. Always spying on them.
