Reviews

Customer Service Assistant in Eastbourne, East Sussex
on 7 June 2023
Poor pay, decent people
Working there under the age of 18 means very low pay and the amount put on job listings is misleading, as they say up to x amount, but this amount is only for those over age 21
Temporary Sales Assistant in Aldershot, Hampshire
on 8 June 2023
Good summer job for students
Staff was really supportive and friendly. The hours were also quite good, I averaged around 16hrs per week, which was what I wanted as I still wanted to have time to enjoy my summer. The only negative would be the pay, it could be better. But other than that, everything else was great. Especially the staff discounts!

Was good
The jobs offers you flexibility and you can choose the day you want to work and which one you don't want to work, the manager in wandsworth branch was very friendly

Awful
Management is awful there, management made you feel low all the time, the manager is extremely power hungry, the main manager is selfish and manipulative
Sales Assistant (Part-time) in Sutton

It was an ok job
The pay wasn’t great and at times the managers expected far more from us than was reasonable but the other staff were nice and the hours weren’t too bad.
