Pros

The office I was going to work at was quite nice. Friendly team, even the manager was nice despite being utterly useless.

Cons

- Horribly overlong and boring training classes - I was sent from Southampton to Swindon for training and they failed to book me a hotel - The hotel they 'claimed' to have booked for me was a dank, disgusting guest house in an alleyway next to a horrible pub - Lied to me about working hours. I was a casual, but they said I'd get 35 hours a week guaranteed for the first 4 weeks. That never happened. - Told me I would get laid off in 12 weeks only after I had accepted the offer. - No clear directions given as to where to go for the training classes. - Manager damn near impossible to get ahold of for assistance, even through her mobile. - Told that you have to work on short notice which puts strain on your personal life - Give you a 0 hour contract so they don't have to offer you work, but they'll always demand you to come in when they need you. Unbalanced and unfair.
