Pros

Two breaks when you working 8h, timely rota, holidays accepted, and requests for days off and working availability respected.

Cons

Work is every day almost exactly the same, but hard to expect anything else from the shop.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
