Pros

You will most likely meet some lovely colleagues who will help support you when you want to quit - which will be on a weekly basis if you survive the first 3 months.

Cons

No incentive schemes or recognition for work above & beyond (which you will do from the day you start!) . Lock you in after hours if the management haven't "managed" the time well and the store is still a mess! Partners,mums & dads collecting staff from work (Some 16yr olds parents) left banging on the door ! No set duties you must be "Jack of all trades". Ridiculous amount of work ratio to number of staff. Will take on loads of staff for a new store within 3 months 60% or more will be laid off those left will have their hourly contracts significantly cut. Mandatory training which is basically just videos.No first aid trained personnel on site. Over paid managers who also receive regular high bonuses but staff get nothing. High staff turn over - not interested in keeping good workers.Your days of work/hours can be changed on a daily basis without your consent - your life is theirs!

Pros

You get paid, 10% discount work experience for cv and people you work with

Cons

Draconian time targets that don't take into consideration the actual work your doing, average management, little to no promotion opportunity, expect to be doing 3 people's work for minimum wage, no incentive for staff yet management given great incentives eg a store manager in region given trip to Africa for sales of comic relief t-shirts staff received nothing, pay rises non existent, no chance of full time hours
