The work itself is fine, but the company ultimately don't care about staff.

Pros

The work is enjoyable. Good, close knit team atmosphere.

Cons

17.5 hours a week on minimum wage is unliveable, particularly factoring in transport costs. Management do this so they do not have to offer paid leave or mandatory pension. Most people I worked with struggled to pay their rent or mortgage and the opportunity to get a second job was not available to most as shifts were irregular and unpredictable. It also turned out that the company had been under paying employees for their paid breaks.
