Not a hard job but not a rewarding job

Pros

The job itself was easy. Although they claim training is provided and that you sign documents to say you have been trained you very rarely are, you may sit down and watch a video and do a test were you are given the answers thats the closet to training you get.Must of the time to meet the demands of the business you have to brake the rules and safety procedure. Another positive is that you get a discount card.

Cons

Holidays are hard to get and most of the time you have to find your own cover. When you do take a holiday it is hard financially because most of the time you do more hours that you are contracted for so your holiday pay is considerably less.

Pros

There is none anymore its the worst place to work. The only thing i can think of is the 10% discount

Cons

The managers are bullies and treat you like rubbish. They moan about people taking extra on their tea breaks and threaten to deduct your wages. but yet the management will always go for a smoke when they feel like it. when you question them they say we don't get a proper lunch break. They also tell you there is no union BUT there is all colleagues need to join the GMB union and show managent whos boss just like jack and stan from on the buses
