Pros

Free lunch, Good discount. Nice shops. People are usually nice. Usually there isn't a lot of them so you will always have a nice stable environment.

Cons

Bad management. I really hate the job so I can't really comment on the other aspects of it.

Pros

Was emailed saying I had an hour long interview/assessment with boots. Turned out it was literally a 10 min interview included 5 questions. Was over quite quickly and the interviewer was very friendly.

Cons

I had to wait in the staff canteen for 10 mins before anyone came to collect me for the interview, I also did not do any if the floor assessment as I was emailed.
