Pros
It's really easy to get a job here unless you're an idiot. But they will hire you anyway because they're always desperate.
Cons
Organisation changes every two weeks, so you don't really have anyone to look up for when they need help/advice. There are some so-called "area managers" but they won't really care about you. Shifts can be up to 15 hours a day (you read right: FIFTEEN and one hour break if you're lucky, otherwise 30 minutes), often can be opening one store at 10am/closing another one past midnight in the same day because people hurt themselves while working (no insurance or compensations for illnesses or accidents related) or leave without notice. Shops are often tainted with mice/mould for which no one cares about. Health and safety standards are a joke, literally below legal minimum, and you will be often forced to do dangerous tasks such as handling electricity or do deliveries and the owner will expect you to lift at least 20 litres of ice cream at once. And if he doesn't like you he will call you in store and threaten/insult you with any excuse. You need to stand up all the time, you can't go to the toilet if you're alone in store or busy and you might have to work up to 10-15 days consecutively with no day off. They promise you benefits and bonuses at the beginning but they often take them off for ridiculous reasons. Basic pay is 7.50 per hour which is nothing for the amount of work you will be forced to do. They don't have a standard for weekly hours so you won't get paid extra if you work a lot. Part time can be up to 40 and full time sometimes up to 60 in the summer. Despite all this, Head Office in France will do nothing about it because the owner is a very close friend of the founders so whatever he does, no one will do anything. I know all this will sound exaggerate but if you visit any Amorino store and ask any employee about the working conditions they will all confirm this.
