Pros
Good pay as customer assistant, as you get paid for every minute you are in store. Not the same for managers, they get a salary no matter how much overtime you do. however you will get time back in holidays. If you work hard it gets noticed by some managers (this obviously varies by managers and stores) I was only on 25hour contract but always get atlest 30 hours, some weeks as much as 40.
Cons
no work life balance. early starts (4am) and late finishes (latest Ive left was 11,30pm, store closes at 9pm!!) however normally about 9.30/10pm but this is still quite late. days off arent always in a row. rota changes every week so cant plan. time scales are hard to work to as very tight!
