Former employee review
Pros: The best thing about the job was the flexibility, as this allowed me to balance my work, studies and social life
Cons: They did not show appreciation of the work every employee does.  On many occasions myself and others would ensure to use our initiative to get work done.  There was clear favouritism towards certain employees, as they would do less than others and get shown appreciation for their work. 
Even with the way they tell you how to do something correctly they were known to treat people differently, one of the managers once told me that I needed to use a persons name when asking for something to be done, used examples and was fairly rude and demeaning about it, later the same day someone else did the same thing, she simply told them to make sure they say the persons name, 1 I didn't know who was on grill as I could not see from where I was working, 2 when I found out who was I didn't recognise them as they were knew, and 3 I was working there for over a year and was never told to ensure I said the persons name, I do not mind being told I am doing something wrong, in fact I appreciate it if it makes me better at my job but the managers should be more respectful and fair in doing so.
Another issue in the store I worked in was that not every member of staff was trained on every section and some of them were there for around a year, which frequently caused disruption in service, as they couldn't move people around during shifts to speed things up, as frequently members of staff who were known to be quickest in the kitchen could not be placed there as those in kitchen did not know how to work in the other areas.
