Mixed experience.
Pros: For such a basic job, it's a good one.  You feel that you can really progress and they are very flexible.  You don't feel like a number and they make you feel valued.
Cons: I found that the manager of my particular franchise was not understanding at all of my needs as a carer and was very unhelpful and dismissive of the fact that I was being taxed too much.  Also, when I was moved from crew to customer care, it felt like an accomplishment until I was told there was no real opportunity for progress anymore.  My success became a punishment because the wage in the UK is not liveable and although I enjoyed my job, I had to leave because I knew I would be stuck earning it for what could be years.
