Pros

Good Pay Good team work Good training

Cons

Management will do anything to save money - including remain understaffed, or in my case cheat you out of Sunday pay that you are entitled to. If you claim overtime at the end of your shift (i.e. you have to stay an extra 20 minutes) then you are seen as going against the partnership - my manager actively advised me not to claim it.
