Could walk to work, most managers can go home early on fridays,not expected to work nights or weekends,really easy to spend all day doing nothing if you want to

Cons

Complete lack of communication,respect and support from management,staff are not valued,local culture of talking at you not to you,pay is poor even by industry standards, Own policies and procedures are ignored,doesnt appear to have any real desire to improve standards and performance,only interested in profit at any cost and dont value the customer sufficiently.

Business Outlook

Pros

You get a lot of experience working here and meet a lot of supportive people and the management is nice and will treat you with respect.

Cons

It's a dead end job. The company preaches to you how important your job is but yet they pay you peanuts. It's hard to take your job seriously.
