Pros

You make great friends with people you work with and become very close so they make shifts bareable. You get a decent discount and free films

Cons

0 hour contract that go from 4 hours a week to 40 suddenly, day off requests either ignored or refused with no good reason, rotas coming out with hardly any notice, managers have favourites that allow certain employees to get away with anything and even will extend to better hours for them and no diciplinary action if they broke codes of conduct, you try to enforce company policies but managers and team leaders will screw the policies if a customer moans enough and make you look like an idiot, you are expected to do extra work with no extra merit, rotas won't stick to your availabilities, there's a fair amount of gossip and everyone knows your business, managers will ridicule and talk down to team members they don't like, some male managers sexualised and made female employees feel uncomfortable, bad pay, managers get bonuses if they save labour money so often would give hardly any hours and would only have younger workers on so that older workers were left with nothing, no support at all if you were struggling during busy times, could only get anywhere within the company if you were ready to lick the backsides of managers, could never get away if it was busy and you'd finished your shift, too much pressure to upsell and constantly badger customers, would be expected to work into early hours of morning if closing.
