Pros

Friendly staff but that is it

Cons

Minimum wage with no raise no matter how long you work there. Only half a. Hour break for eight hours worked. Labour is cut to the bone so lucky to get break and no one else on site if something goes wrong. Treated as replaceable. No regards for health or safety of staff

Business Outlook

Pros

Staff are nice When you get a day off

Cons

When on salary don’t get paid overtime/do an extra day you get a lieu day which more likely than not you don’t get to take . You are removed need on a daily basis how your just a number . If something breaks it is not fixed . You have to do online training and seachange which takes hours and don’t get paid for it . If your sent on training in a different site you don’t get travel expenses . Your treated as replaceable . No discounts on anything like lunch. High staff turnover. Forget about weekends off I’ve had 2 in the last 8 months. Breaks the 11 hour rule constantly. Not enough staff and people calling in sick quite often. Just wants to reach budgets
