Pros

Good teamwork with the other employees, the give you a nice word/peptalk when you need it, there is room for fun when the work is slow and everybody helps when there is a lot to do

Cons

In the cashline one have to stand up for a long time, the breaks are timed and you have to be back on time. Sometimes you have to bow down to find the barcode, even move heavy merchandise and the customers can be very ungrateful

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
