Pros

Only thing i enjoyed was when i had the opportunity to work with people I got along with, which was rare as most staff were severely depressed most of the time (no surprise really) , so no pros really.

Cons

Management is incompetent, have no clue how to work as a team or run a team. They make sure all the best shifts are taken by them and would never dream of working nights. Asked to work extra hours almost every shift. Would be called throughout the week and asked to cover shifts, sometimes an 30 minutes before the shift was due to start (you were expected to say yes every time) I was provided with no till training or any other type of training, just expected to work it out for myself. I would do something wrong and then be told how to do it right instead of being shown the correct way in the first place. The way the management would talk in front of customers and fellow staff was highly inappropriate (swearing, inappropriate sexual references)
