Pros

You get to work in a sparkly place. That's it.

Cons

Management are unreliable and don't know what they're doing. You're given a 12 hour contact and told you'll be working at least double that. Seasonal part time staff aren't even allowed staff discount even though they work just as hard as permanent staff. Absolutely no training given and a very high staff turnover which is just embarrassing. Paid just above minimum wage even though the store is making thousands in profit every week. "You're not allowed to wear any jewellery unless it's Swarovski, and you aren't allowed any staff discount to buy any Swarovski jewellery, and you won't be able to afford it anyway on £6.59 an hour so don't wear jewellery even though you work in a jewellery shop." Embarrassing.

Pros

great introduction into luxury retail, great sales training, coworkers are very friendly, management really cares about you and is very nice but can get rude when stressed. generally a nice place to work, clean, very easy job overall, you make team bonuses which raise hourly to as much as 22 and hour

Cons

micromanaging from corporate, disorganized management, moderate turnover, things get stressful but also fun during busy seasons
