Fast Paced but badly Managed
Pros: Overtime is easy to obtain, there is a clear progression structure, free meal on shift and colleagues can be nice to work with.
Cons: Managers are only there due to time and not talent, progression takes years and it is a job that takes years from your life. Favouritism towards those that have been there a while versus new starts. There is an obsession with procedures where all logic is thrown out the window due to a procedure. I think it is a bit sexist having mainly females on front counter doing easy customer service roles and men in the kitchen because I guess men do the heavy lifting and women are supposed to look pretty? No training, you are just told the basics and expected to get on with it. Lastly Zero Hours Contract so you are expected to do funky times or might not be given work at all and you have no legal protection.
