Pros

Absolutely nothing at all comes to mind

Cons

Never in my life have I been more stressed and anxiety ridden than working here. Staff turnover is insane, sales targets are unreachable, would often have to stay back an extra two hours unpaid to clean everything up on top of working 9+ with no break. Resigning was the best thing I could have done for my mental health, which was so bad due to stress I was seeing a psychologist once every three weeks because I couldn’t cope.
