Great at first then it gets beyond bad
Pros: You'll meet some really nice people within the crew.
Flexible working hours.
Employee Discount.
Apprenticeship for people without good grades at GCSE, it can be helpful in gaining employment away from the company.
Cons: Some of the management seem to have a problem with generic crew.
It's hard work, you'll be expected to work your socks off for all the shifts 24/7 you'll be looked down upon if you don't take extra shifts.
Irregular shift patterns.
Sometimes working hour laws would be broken and management would then enquire "why don't you want to work this 10 hour shift starting at 6 when you finished at 10".
Serious lack of regard for staff morale amongst some of the management.
Very, very, very cliquey if you aren't within the crowd don't expect to get promoted.
If you are part time, then go full time, you'll always be treated as part time even if you work your hardest.
Terrible with regard to sick pay, and compassionate leave; despite the law requiring them to pay you the standard sick pay; Senior management will try and pull every trick in the book to try and get out of paying it; unfortunately due to the intelligence of some staff they don't question them about these things and end up not taking what is rightfully there.
When you eventually leave they'll try and keep you on the books because they are graded on staff turnover, quite often people who had left over six months ago were still on the books.
Very little to none in terms of trade union recognition as well as crew recognition, employee of the month was quite often given to managers favourites when there were more deserving staff.
