Okay-ish for students

Pros

Overtime always available if you want it, decent hourly rate of pay, you make friends with other staff members easily, HR were nearly always nice

Cons

A lot of the managers have a God complex. Your shift would finish at 8.30 and you may not get out until 9.30, customers would be rude and sometimes intolerable and you'd have to take it, you could work there for years and be lucky if a manager said hi to you in the corridor (unless they wanted you to do overtime then they were all smiles) no staff discount

Pros

Loads of overtime, massive team, always busy with things to do.

Cons

Rubbish and hardwork overtime system put in a form but when you need to change you have to 3 weeks in advance so can be difficult
