Pros

Can't really think of any for me personally. I did make a couple of friends but that is it really and the yearly trip to Alton Towers is ok

Cons

I was stuck on the till for 8 hours a shift not moving until later when I faced up the part by the till and beer aisle so when customers came in every few minutes, I obviously can't get my work done and I get in trouble. I was left alone on the shop floor most of the time. I always got put in for the night time shifts 3-11 every single shift and was never asked of this was ok. The only flexibility the company has is for mum's. I was off work sick for the last few months of employment because of a bad back. The manager didn't believe I was ill. I have caught staff talking about me before.
