Pros

Friendly work force amongst other units in site. Easy interviews. Overtime available. Great layout of buildings. Very popular and busy environments.

Cons

In motorway so driving pretty much essential. Alot of gossiping. No staff discount or free meals in good outlets which is given to other similar franchises in towns/cities. Long hours. High staff turn over leaving many short staffed occasions increasing pressure

Pros

Some sort of money at the end of the week.

Cons

Paid incorrectly a lot of the time. Forced to cover shifts with them even asking. Minimum wage. Management don't care about staff, they only care about hitting their budget.
