Business Outlook

Pros

None at all, awful behaviour from staff members.

Cons

Management was terrible - bullying, underpaying people, everyone only cared about them selves and would try and get you to do things like come in early so they wouldn’t have to. Messed me around a lot with moving up to the gym floor and sales, cafe gave me food poisoning on site. People were very rude and generally odd behaving no body was down to earth who worked there. The manager wanted to pay more money into my account for another employee meaning I got taxed more and had to give them back the money I was payed.
