Pros

All of the volunteers have been lovely, creating a welcoming environment where you really feel as though your work is appreciated. Management is always happy to explain anything when you are unsure and it is overall great to help such a good cause.

Cons

It sometimes felt a though you weren't making much progress with the stock but this was mainly because our store was a very popular donation spot so the pile was always growing !
