Pros

- Get to work with fun families - The smiles on children's faces would make the shop vibes very pleasant

Cons

- Contract means that they can force you to work more hours than you can do - They refused to let me quit when I told them before signing the contract that I can't do more than 8 hours due to my study. They forced me to do more than 16 hours. - Favour and are more lenient towards staff who have worked there longer - For minimum wage you're doing much more than other shops require
