Felt overworked, underappreciated and taken for granted.

Pros

Flexible hours to an extent. They handled me going to university and changing my contract to seasonal rather than transfer well.

Cons

Zero hours contract meant that I was treated as a dogs body and had no routine despite verbal agreement. I felt pressured to take hours that I didn't ask for or want and the tiers of management often got things confused between them. Rotas were a mess and constantly changed without me being informed. I was repeatedly contacted when I was off sick and pestered for a doctor's note after one day of sickness and also rang numerous times whilst on holiday.
