Pros

Absolutelty none what so ever

Cons

Constantly under staffed. Will sign you up on a part time contract (negating the benefits that come with a full time contract), but have you work full time hours. Awful team moral. The training consisted of a 20 minute talk, and you are left unsure of what to do throughout most of the day. Incredibly unorganized.

Pros

The career ladder is very good but if your face doesn't fit you've got no chance of climbing it. The salary is good too.

Cons

Can't even begin to explain how bad this company is to work for. I realised I wanted out after my first shift. Don't be fooled by the high salary it's not worth it. They have no respect for anyone, never get full breaks even when working long shifts 10+ hours. My life evolved around work. The area manager was very poor almost using bullying tactics. That's just a few examples.

Pros

Compensation and car use. The nature of the job is challenging and building your own teams is exciting.

Cons

Terrible work/life balance. 80 hour weeks are considered good weeks. No positive reinforcement whatsoever. Micro management is the norm.
