Pros

It’s a very rewarding job watching the children grow and learn and become into their own person. Creating relationships with the families and bond with them

Cons

Don’t always get to finish on time due to lack of staff.

Pros

I love working with the public. To wish them a "Good morning Sir/Madam, how are you this fine day?", just to try to lift their day makes mine.

Cons

Standing. First time in retail and not used to this.

Pros

- Easy shifts - Higher than minimum wage pay - Decent holiday pay

Cons

- Mostly 1-1 shifts, no matter the gender - multiple contracts with multiple businesses, so you're expected to do delivery picks, Evri drop-offs and pick-ups, bakery work, etc. - 0 opportunity to advance further (at least if you're in food retail)
