Pros

discount I got paid I got to go home at the end of the day. if you were in the upstairs stock room at Christmas you were always alone carrying massive tvs whilst trying to hang off a high ladder its over now

Cons

A lot of serious health and safety issues including ladders left everywhere, DA s leaping all over shelving monkey style. frequently allowing the cleaner mop floors whilst we were crossing them picking stock. No help from manager or if he did he swore and moaned. If I asked him to speak to a customer about a product or a customer with a return he would refuse , swear and snap "find someone else!." Yet he would turn up occasionally to listen to you selling product care or add ons and then do nothing but critize you or humiliate you infront of the public. After I left some of the Christmas temps were taken on. Though my friend still has no new contract. So therefore no valid contract since Dec 29. It is now April 14. They were then told the other day if they didn't make at least £75 a week product care a week they were getting sacked.
