Pros

Friendly management Free meal and Coke Freestyle drinks on shifts over 4.5 hours Everyone gets a break no matter how busy the shift is Modern, well equipped kitchen, far better than the facilities offered by other employers

Cons

Poor pay - £6 an hour for under 18s CCTV in kitchen and locker room Bad, rushed training Front of house staff cut corners leaving BOH staff to clean up Inefficient closing procedures resulting in closing staff not being able to leave until after 11:30pm most nights Often major shortages of integral ingredients No staffroom at all, staff expected to take their breaks in dining area
