Pros

I could say the hourly salary, but believe me: it is not worth the stress and humiliation

Cons

working at the cash desk is a true nightmare: no drinks allowed (not even water!) even if you have to stay there for 5 hours straight; no space next to the till in order to force the customers to THROW the items inside their trolley/basket themselves and as fast as possible; you have a target in terms of number of items scanned per minute and the receipts do not even show the change (so if you mess it up because you are working like a pinball, that will stay on your personal file); and the imposition of getting your face shaven except for some 'Religious' reasons is even racist

Pros

pay is above minimum wage and London living wage.

Cons

Signed up to a 25 hour contract on a fully flex basis so would be available for any shift day or night week or weekend however unless you become a deputy manager you're unlikely to get more than 35 hours a week and there is a stipulation in the contract that makes it almost impossible to get more than 40 hours a week.

Pros

Serious responsibility, unparalleled learning experience. Great car. Good pay

Cons

Normal to do 70 hour weeks. Life outside work goes on hold if you want to perform in the SE stores. Management not inspiring
