Pros

- lovely staff to work with, the people make the job - free gym membership for you and a buddy

Cons

- not paid adequately for expected role - Pay is low - management is very poor and never around, do not listen to staff - focus too much on brand standards and not actually listening to their customers needs - training is poor, nothing is thorough, many staff just have their own way of doing things and have had to guess due to no formal training - high turnover of staff
