      Pros

      Guaranteed hours on contract, progression available if you work hard, nice people. Booking holidays is okay as long as it's not in the blocked period.

      Cons

      Low pay, if you're part time you have to work all bank holidays, difficult to book time off in December period. Work life balance wasn't great. Hours aren't flexible, you work the same shift always.

      Pros

      Nice colleagues. Good working hours.

      Cons

      Management never to be seen unless there's an issue, or to complain.. Never praised or thanked by management or supervisors. Too many in house cliques , if you are not in one ....forget it!!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Meet some lovely people on the same boat as yourself Most employees are friendly

      Cons

      Poor salary for the amount of work (21+ get more, 18-21 get less and under 18 get the least for the same work) Awkward hours (most 6-10pm shifts are contracted on under 18s) Mess! Supervisors and Managers often put themselves above you. No extra pay, regardless of holidays or weekends - Christmas staff contracted to work boxing day with no extra pay Inconsiderate of students (shifts at unreasonable times) Fixed rotas Minimal holiday time and are very strict about letting people have a day off regardless of reasons A lot of staff slack and make one person do all the work No benefits or discounts Miserable and repetitive job Most customers are rude and unkind
