Worst thing
Over worked, to much responsibility for the pay. Store is too small for the foot traffic and the amount the store earns. Store manager does not have you best interest at heart. You cant be ill for more than three times a year without being written up for it

My colleagues and the job role itself is interesting as two days are never the same.

The people
Worst thing
The level of work does not match the pay, it’s a blanket hourly rate across the store in different departments and specialist departments with more work and more training do not get paid more than general assistants who do basic work
