Pros

Plenty of time off with the shift patterns. Management don't really get on your case unless something goes wrong

Cons

Your salary is made up of base pay, GTB and and annual "bonus" but your still underpaid. Which they freely admit. To get to my 75th percentile or in lay and terms to get to what I should be paid will take 10 years of pay rises. Getting screwed over at the minute so that management get a massive bonus at end of year. No annual all associate day anymore or Xmas hampers.
