Pros

choosing your own hours, I had to write this to fit the word limit.

Cons

office staff have no care for you, you are a number on their system and not a name. good job to have on the side, thats if you are ok with feeling like less than a human.

Pros

Fellow staff are in the same position as you so know what you're going through.

Cons

I did a total of 4 shifts with Splendid before I couldn't stand it any more. We were shouted at, spoken to awfully, given no say in what we were doing and managed by people who had not been there much longer than ourselves - simply because they were the longest people working there as their turnover is so high. If you think this is a good area of work for you I would look anywhere BUT Splendid. That is, unless you want to be screamed at by chefs, work unsociable hours, and spend stupid money travelling to places you have to work 3 hours to make up for.
