Pros

- Work is easy - Staff are friendly - The variety of work negated any potential monotony

Cons

- Having to integrate into a new team every shift (although this may be a Pro to some) - As with most jobs I've had in the hospitality industry, there seems to be a condescending culture towards people who don't instinctively know what/how to do something, which is frustrating to deal with as a new starter.

Pros

- zero hour contract so you can work whenever you want to and you can choose your shifts - free food most times (if you're manager/team leader is nice) because you'll be working on catered events so when the events are over you eat whatever is left and there is always a lot left - you make friends and shifts can be fun if you have a nice manager/team leader or are working with friends

Cons

- shifts are supposed to be allocated on a first come first serve basis but the compass venue I worked at (Ricoh Arena) wasn't like that, it was hard to get shifts as they offer shifts to the more regular or favoured workers first - pay starts at £6.25 if you're under 21 and when you turn 21 it increases to £6.50
