Taken advantage of, laughed at by the manager, promised bonuses I never received

Business Outlook

Pros

The products are lovely and there is 10% discount, sometimes double discount weekends. Generally the customers were nice and friendly.

Cons

Everything else. Horrible managers, taken advantage of when I said I was flexible with hours, constantly being given hours I couldn't do, overworked, never praised, promised bonuses for good work that I never got (eg gift card), managers never said hello, being spoken to rudely. When I said I had been given a shift that clashed with my availability hours I was told "well it is your word against ours". Another employee was helping me to unpack delivery for the first time and teaching me how to sort products, and we were told by a manager to shut up and stop talking and work more. Was made to feel awkward, pressured and guilty for leaving, then not a single goodbye from any managers or staff.
