Pros

None, please read all the negative reviews. The positive are not real. The HR department tries to pad Glassdoor with positive reviews of this company.

Cons

Underpaid and overworked. If you are white you will go for in this place. People of color should look elsewhere.

Pros

- Boxing Day and New Years Day off - You get paid for every minute you work - 10% staff discount but 20% over Christmas

Cons

- They don't give contracted hours - or any at all which leads to undertime and no pay. - They don't amend shift start times according to travel arrangements - They don't organise shifts and rotas fairly - they say you only work 2 saturday and 2 sundays a month but you'll always work 90% of them. - Management is poor - Area managers are never available to talk to about work issues - Management swear constantly
