Pros
Young and energetic atmosphere Some basic but poorly executed training provided
Cons
Atmosphere of fear: you have one day notice period and receive constant threats of being laid off. Lot of stick and very few carrots: If you are sick, you must take three days of unpaid leave. Draconian production timing and you get fired if you can't hit them. Bad management: your team gets shouted at on most days for issues that originate from poor management Problems with staff retention and very high turnover: most people have only been working there for few months and even them seem to be constantly looking for another job Zero to all hours: technically zero guaranteed hours but must accept all shifts on any day or time Salary: the position is 'sold' with 8£ salary, but in actuality it is a minimum wage job with a 80p 'bonus' which doesn't happen in most weeks. All it takes is one of the team members to make one mistake and the whole shop loses their bonus. Naturally, this does not create a team atmosphere but one of great hostility.
