      Most the staff are friendly, good pay, fairly relaxed on shift, free food on every shift.

      Cons

      Training wasn't the best and when asking questions later down the line I didn't get taught managers just asked someone else to do it. 0 hour contracts so no consistency with pay + at the one I work at we get the weekly schedule on Fridays so no opportunity for financial planning. Also mine was consistently understaffed and posted on workplace daily asking people to come in
