Pros

The co-workers are friendly. Shift work that can allow you to tailor your week to appointments. Double pay on bank holidays.

Cons

Extremely demanding work for minimum wage. No one recieved HACCP training in bakewell department. Understaffed for the work load demanded. Have not recieved wage slip in 4 months. Long hours. Management from head office degrade you in front of co workers. You can sometimes be expected to work till 9.30pm and back in at 5.00am. I am not a disgruntled employee, I have 5 years previous food experience which is why I find this company's policy's and treatment of staff shocking.

Pros

There are Absolutely no pros to the job

Cons

You will be miss treated by upper management who while is expected to be held by the same standards you are willing never actually uphold those standards for themselves while simultaneously being abused by the employees who are your direct reports because this company gives basic employees several protection against disciplinary actions making it very difficult to correct poor behavior and remove underperforming employees. You will be undercompensated for all of your work and be expected to work yourself to death all to line the pockets of the people above you who have absolutely no idea how to truly run a customer service business where the focus is the customers and the people that brake care of them
