Pros

Free membership Some nice co workers ; food court is okay

Cons

Where to start. NO to ZERO progression. Micromanaging to high hell. Can’t message managers out of hours but they can call you in early because they don’t do the rota properly. Pay is LOL Only do maximum of 4/5 hours when even in the cafe even on weekends which is a waste of time. God forbid you ever get sick or injured outside work because this company and management will NOT give a crap about you and not accommodate you at all
