Best thing
Staff discount.
The people I work with.Worst thing
Head office have no clue about workload.
Unnecessary extra jobs that mean often you're doing something to undo something you've only recently done because reasons.
Everything has a target attached to it including how many people sign up for e-receipts, how many customer orders you create, how many non plastic bags you sell, how many till offers you sell, how many people fill in customer survey, how many mention you by name and on and on.
Minimum wage for the workload is a joke.
No chance of pay rise that isn't minimum wage.
Promotion opportunities are next to non existent.HMV Employee, October 2023
