Pros

I started at an oxfam charity shop to do my Duke of Edinburgh award and although I was only supposed to be there for a month, I stayed for almost half a year. It really helped me get to grips with a retail environment and the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Cons

Shelf stocking could be a bit boring and sorting through various pieces of clothing was very tedious.
