Pros

It is good for maturing you and helps everyone with communication and social skills. If you show interest you can progress within the company learning about the retail business and leaning management skills on the job.

Cons

Working conditions in the site I worked in did not have anywhere to eat lunch, it had a microwave which was placed on the floor. It did not have any seats most people ended up having lunch while sitting on stock in the stock room. The pay is minimum wage with no increase, even if you have been there for years and do a lot of management work.

Pros

Customers made the day more bearable, shops themselves are nice inside.

Cons

The shifts go from 7-3pm to 3-11pm so you could be in until 11pm and back in at 7am. If this was the case, you weren’t even allowed have a free coffee in the morning, even though you were only being given 8 hours between shifts which is illegal. Women had to do deliveries alone, lifting extremely heavy goods with no help. More males should have been hired. Management given sales targets and competitions, staff would do 90% of the upselling, yet if the shop won the competition, management would get the prize. Overall just unpleasant. Applegreen make a lot of money, they can spare a few extra bob. During times of bad weather, when staff couldn’t make it in, the manager would leave one person in the shop alone when there needs to be two.
