Pros

Good colleagues and team atmosphere in many stores. Flexible for students and part-time workers, with some managers accommodating availability requests. Employee discount and colleague benefits. Opportunities to progress into team leader or management roles if you want to build a retail career. Varied work rather than just sitting on a till all day—you'll stock shelves, serve customers, handle deliveries, parcels, and online orders.

Cons

Unsociable hours, including evenings, weekends, and early mornings. Dealing with shoplifting and difficult customers can be a regular part of the role.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
