Business Outlook

Pros

The company is very professional, salary is bit higher that national minimum wage - 6.51 as far as I remember, good work environment, some bonuses and social days out

Cons

As it comes to my position as a Food-to-Go assistant I had to be early at work, at 7:00 which collided with my full time education which is pity as I wanted to stay at the company, also some jobs had been lost due to Tesco opening just round the corner.

Business Outlook

Pros

I was nice to meet more people in the village, improve my social skills by interacting with everyone who came in. I only had to work on saturdays so I could still do my college work in the week while earning my own money.

Cons

Sometimes a little repetitive and monotonous, also I was not offered any more shifts after working there for over half a year.
