Best thing
I work with nice people, and have a lot of regular customers
Worst thing
I was hired as a sales assistant however only work on the tills. I am often left alone on the shop floor, when some customers can get aggressive and there are many thefts. I received very little training and had to work most things out as I encountered them, being scolded if I made the wrong decision on how to handle something. There is clear favouritism from the manager towards certain members of staff. There is high staff turnover and they find it difficult to hire new people who stick around.
