Pros

Very easy to pick up extras shifts, as ive just left school being flexible and good to comprise on hours and stuff is quite important to me Lots of good people, quite a friendly environment if you like you mangers and co workers

Cons

Sometimes they leave you out to dry with customers and stuff and also its like they dont at all care about you Often really delayed giving you break and can also complete forget about the hours yours supposed to do leading to confrontations that arent at all your fault

Pros

not one thing is a pro with this company

Cons

where do I start I used to work the twighlight shift and for what I got paid for the amount of work I had to do was slave labour I could come into work one night baring in mind it was only a 5 hour shift and be greeted with 10 cages and 3 huge pallets to do on my own no help I had to work three aisles compared to other people only having one ... then the section leaders who are all up there own back sides soon as they put a black shirt on always gave you times that were impossible to reach ,I went on sick this January through mental health issues and my doctor gave me a note to be put on days , my manager and I quote said you will never be off nights while I'm here , so basically what I'm saying is if you are a hard worker you will be treated like I think you know what I want to say here! compared to someone who holds a stick saying space here who is treated like royalty , I have alot more to say but honestly don't work for this company
