Pros
Make lots of friends, Room for progression to supervisory roles if desired, Free meal on breaks, Some flexibility to fit around studying
Cons
Minimum wage, Unsociable hours (late nights and weekends), Sometimes the management can be unorganised (in my experience I have sometimes booked days off in the diary but not been given them off, also have had previous issues with things such as not being paid holiday pay as managers forgot to send correct holiday forms to head office) Favouritism within the workplace (colleages being able to pick and choose what shifts they want to work) Varied shift patterns and you never recieve your 'contracted hours' (I was on a 39 hour contract and only ever get this in busy periods such as school holidays, I usually get between 20-30 hours) No bonus schemes for team members or team leaders.... only manager and assistant manager
