Terrible place to work.

Pros

I can't think of any apart from you're only required to give 1 week's notice of resignation.

Cons

The staff are not valued, you're treated worse than cattle. There is no flexibility in your working hours, weekend staff and weekday staff so weekenders have to work every Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays. Only paid minimum wage, under 18's is less than £5 an hour. If you're on a less than 20 hour contract you're not paid sick pay, (this wasn't explained to me nor is it made clear in the staff handbook). Us and them attitude from the management, no meaningful consultation with staff, we were made to feel like second class citizens. Students are treated especially badly. The worse place I've ever worked with very high staff turnover and no decent training for new starters. I'm glad to be out of there.

Pros

The management and staff are very friendly and easy to get on with. Good money also for the work that you have to do.

Cons

The hours that you work one week could be completely different so it can be hard to make plans without knowing your hours. Customers don't always respect the staff.
