Pros

If you’re looking for a job where you can come in, clock in, sit at your desk, talk to nobody, clock out 8.5 hours later and repeat for God knows how long, then this is the job for you

Cons

Terrible atmosphere among staff, poor pay, shocking food, located in the middle of nowhere, extremely extremely repetitive and boring to the point where you can feel your life passing by, most of the junior staff are in their 20s and haven’t even seen each other outside the office??
