Pros

Relaxed environment Easy job to get Good for a first time job There was a subway built in so lunches were easy Very easy work

Cons

Management hide upstairs and offer no help unless assistant or general manager is on duty Breaks are extremely unformal- i was frequently called to tills while on my lunch break. One day i worked for 7 1/2 hours with no break as the duty manager didn't want me taking my break on her shift Shifts will be frequently changed if you're at the 'bottom of the food chain'. It was agreed i would work friday nights 5-10pm and sundays 10-5pm but was frequently put on the 6am-3pm sunday morning shift Minimum wage payment - £4.39 for a 17yr old. I did as much if not more work than older staff on £6+
