Pros
Flexible shifts, once you get a permanent placement you get to know the people you're working with really well, work available at all the compass owned venues so if you move cities for uni etc. you can get transferred, really easy interview (it's pretty much a formality,when I had my interview something like 50 out of 60 people were hired) Good for students because, at the football stadiums at least, it's one evening per week plus saturdays and the occasional sunday, so it's easy to fit around uni work.
Cons
minimum wage and there's not that many hours per week, team leaders and managers vary massively in competence and approachability - some are really helpful and great at training new members, but there's been times when other staff members have had to try and teach me everything in a new area whilst trying to do their own jobs because the team leader didn't want to know. There's also a high staff turnover (because of the hours and the pay, people do look at is as a temporary thing and try to get something better as soon as they can) , and there's not much opportunity for promotion. Also if you work at one of the football stadiums they cater for like I did there's only only regular work within season, so look at it as a temporary position and try and find something else for over the summer.
