Pros

Nothing at all apart from the cats

Cons

Management are trash! Really bad people, cruel, evil and just mean. They hire boyfriends and friends and have blatant favourites, they don’t care about you! Work here if you want to pay with your mental health and also they don’t pay you. Many people have had illegal breaks added in and shifts cut short, and bs holiday rules so when you leave they won’t even pay you any annual leave. The real owners are so unaware that their management are bullies or they don’t care because staff turnover here is crazy and so many people complain yet nothing changes.
