Pros

- Decent pay for a 16/17 year old at Christmas time - A good entry into a retail setting - Uniform did not have to be from Next (weird, I know.) - It was only a temporary position

Cons

- Managers are constantly stressed so take their frustrations out on you - Communication is so poor - The stress on the managers impacts their personalities as well as they are constantly on work mode and come across unfriendly and disinterested in both staff and customers - No uniform allowance given to temp. staff; therefore had to buy full price or wear own clothes which is strange - The stock rooms are dark, dingey and not well kept - The Boxing Day sales that cause staff to ruin their Christmas by being there all hours Christmas Eve or 3am Boxing Day morning - it's crazy and not in a good way.
