Pros

Pay is ok. Some colleague benefits.

Cons

At the store I work in (Colney Hatch Extra) there are rude, obnoxious managers. Heating doesn’t work, so we freeze and get I’ll easily, they don’t like it when we go sick. Checkout staff especially get cold because the freezers are placed by the checkout rolls, which is just ridiculous. The store has broken blinds by the windows and hasn’t been fixed in a VERY longtime, and as the checkout tills are placed by the windows, whenever it is sunny the belts of the tills stop working due to the sunlights intererence on the belts sensors. Often leads to frustrated customers and cashiers having to stretch to grab products to scan. Another major issue in checkouts is that everything is old, hardly anything works well. Broken tills, belts, broken security tag removers, old screens -all other stores have brand new screens. Might as well be called a broke tesco store. Staff canteen food pathetic, staff who work in afternoon/evening don’t get any hot food, they might as well get rid of the kitchen, only option we have for food is to bring our own or to waste our 30min break to come upstairs, grab some money from our locker(can’t keep cash/card on us if working in checkout), go back downstairs, find something to eat, waste more time queuing up, pay, go back upstairs and rust to stuff our faces because there’s only 5-10mins of our break left, and if your not back downstairs on 30mins checkout team leaders make a call out for you and moan at you for being late and give you a warning.
