  • Best thing

    The best thing is getting paid at the end of the month. (Even that has draw backs)

    Worst thing

    Poor organisation from Head office and upper management, means that shop workers have to deal with the brunt of the work. Even things that would have easer to have been solved before it got to the shops.
    Poor pay increase for supervisor's zero for store management.
    A lot of hoops to jump through for sales assistants, when the majority are only in for 10 hours a week.
    Being paid on the last Friday of the months sucks, some months are only 4 weeks and some are 5 if it was always on the 28th wouldn't have this problem.
    Yes you get a clothing allowance but trying to get something that you like and or fits is becoming harder and harder every year.
