Pros

Wages are ok, but works out minimum wage for the ours you work.

Cons

overworking hours, always understaffed, management dont car how you feel job has to be done even if you start @5am finish around 7pm with minimal break. Those who on salary pay have to work overtime without the payment. No christmas bonus, no motivation at all.
