Pros

Slightly above minimum wage pay, on shift benefits for food and drink. Some coworkers will be lovely and a joy to work with.

Cons

Heavy favouritism towards useless male managers who swan around doing essentially nothing. Depending on the manager you have for your store everything can be nice and easy or it can be the most stressful nightmare. Paper rota system made life very difficult.
