Pros

Plenty of overtime is offered if you wish to take it. Most members of staff were friendly and easy to get along with. Full training received on the job.

Cons

Poor management at times. Breaks were sometimes either not scheduled, or taken randomly. No permanent structure to the roster - one day you could be working your contracted hours, the next you could be on overtime. Whilst there was a lot of overtime offered, a lot of the time it wasn't optional - you were just rostered down for it and expected to be able to work the extra hours no matter what.
