Retail Assistant in Killarney, County Kerry

perfect for students
Never ask too much of you, the work isn’t overwhelming or difficult. Professional management and good coworkers. It can be difficult to get holidays or more hours. The pay is very good.

Not great
If you want to be sad everyday work here. I used to spend everyday dreading to go into the building and see what I’d have to be faced with on the day.
Sales Assistant in Limerick

Decent job
Above average wage, hypocritical and unsupportive management that play favourites. Extremely busy and little to no understanding from managers if you were unable to finish your zone if it’s busy.
Retail Assistant in Carlow

Great
Great place to work I really enjoy working here , work colleagues and managers are nice and approachable money is good for a college job and they are very catering to students
Sales Assistant in Drogheda, County Louth
on 6 September 2023
Very fun place to work
Great place to work. Would recommend for a first or second job. The experience you get is quite good. Management are fair and understanding. You don’t do the same thing in an 8 hour shift - so you are never bored and the day goes quickly.
