Pros

Not a day the same Good higher management Rota made for 4 weeks now Benefits

Cons

Not great sickness policy and just right amount of people on shift so as manager you need to bother other people to come to work when they have day off. Your hard work doesn't matter you get paid what they have on the paper.
