Colleagues

Too stressful and too much expected from you for what you get paid

The camaraderie between my colleagues and me.

Great team to work with, everyone tried to help where they can including managers.

Managers can’t do anything about people who always phone in sick and never turn up. Head office expects you to survive on a 4 hour minimum wage contract, they don’t understand the amount of effort and work it takes to keep a store running nor do they see the abuse we have to take from customers.

My team and regular customers

Not getting products in
Doing 3 peoples jobs due to cut hrs
No support
No structure within the company
Expecting to much from you in little time
Making you break health and safety when it suits them.

Helping back routine

Seeing arrogant customers

I like what i sell and enjoy working with the public. I gace flexibility to nake my own displays

Thw pay for the work and responsibility involved

When working with decent members of staff and working as a team to get jobs done on time.

The products and customers

Inconsistent hours. Not enough staff. Too long working hours on your feet working hard and no breaks.

More than one thing to do a day and the responsiblities

Being the only one in on the shop floor at times

It is a well organised company who encourages you and helps you with everything

The customers love to help them. My staff

Nice work colleague's

The behaviour of the customers

My team, customers and work

Moves for different seasons, late nights to do moves, nit enough hours for staff

Nothing right now.
Just stress after stress

Customers not following rules and getting too close and not being allowed to say anything.
Being pressured to be as fast as everyone else despite not having done the job as long as them.
Not having any training for anything about this job or how their stock rotation works
Rota changing at the last minute and not being able to do anything about it.

Love working with the public

But stressful at Christmas

My team and having some input in what happens in store

Pay and then not understanding how long it can take to do a job.
Having too much put on you when your already doing so how

The people

Not enough hours

Some of the staff I work with

The job is hard & made harder by a useless manager

The customers that come in.

People all tend to queue at the same time and if you’re working on the till it may get overwhelming sometimes.

Relatively easy work, good pay

No breaks

Weekends off, job is easier and less messy than a restaurant role, management tries hard to help out

Lack of communication, management should either understand better what we do or leave us to do our job (which is the case most of the time, but there are exceptions)

The customers

Head office expectations

I get paid

No communication between the progression ladder.
Things not getting done.

My work team. Keeping the customers happy

My manager and the way she treats the whole work team.

My manager is great and we have a good team. I can change shifts if urgent

Big workload, sometimes picking up other people's slack

The team I work with

Unrealistic expectations

The team I work with

Not having a say on days & shifts

Work colleagues and management

Night shifts

Close to home

It’s boring work

Working in school hours

No wage raise

I work with a great bunch of people

Rude customers and shoplifters

The customers we have regukars

Frustration when you know you need orders and they don't arrive

The customers

Pay and amount of work

Its easy

Not enough cover or training
