Pros

Depending on the store you get, staff is friendly and most store managers are accomodating. Staff discount is at 50% off. Good for a part time experience.

Cons

No AWS. Reimbursement of medical leave is up to $25. Foreigners must pay up to 2 months of their pay for every contract renewal. They are highly dependant on offers and promotions which requires constant vm changes and updates of which sometimes announced at the very last minute. Promos tend to overlap and clash with each other. Favouritism within higher management. Short of staff most of the time and management do not care when staff is overworked and exhausted. Management is only about sales and reducing as much labour hours as possible. There is no proper exit interview and feedback is not taken seriously. Please avoid joining this place unless you would just like to experience as a part timer.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere, lot of importance to child friendly workplace health and safety.

Cons

Blind eye to specialised masters IT degrees and prior SCM work experience which some of their retail assistants have from their past. Too much store politics and favouritism. Unequal expectations from newer and older employees at same level. “Drop and serve customers first” rule doesn’t apply to older employees, only expected out of newer employees even if they are doing multiple tasks. Intimidating way of telling mistakes which were made unknowingly. Makes you dull for the rest of the shift. Some older employees say they are fixing the back room but are actually not, just taking breaks, leaving you alone on the shop floor.
