Experience level: Junior

Good for a young person
Pros: Decent relative hourly pay
Regular wage (fortnightly)
Cons: Management do not always appreciate students cannot work all the time (even on a part time contract!) 

Pressure to work irregular hours (till midnight on a weekday). Ringing to demand you come into work when you are in lectures at university) 

Safety does not appear to be a priority for them. Taking bins out in the dark alone down a poorly lit alley, with drunk, disorderly and potentially dangerous individuals. Being threatened with violence by customers, in a bathroom. Two stabbing in the bathroom in the 5/6 months I was working there. 

Bullying culture is prevalent amongst regular staff, whom I believe are quite resentful of part-timers and management condone and often promote this. 

Not the most hygienic of jobs. Tiring work.

The unjust attitude of my colleagues and pressure from management to work unsuitable/ unsocial hours ultimately made me leave.
