Pros

you learn how to control your body from not drinking nor go to the toilet (as when you do, you are gonna have argument with your manager)

Cons

- minimum wage for a very hard job - not interesting at all (working on a line doing all day long the same movement). you are required to bring your brain at work - crazy shift, no time for social life - this is a zero hour contract: it means that you don't a minimum amount of hour and if they don't like you or there is not enough job, you work few hours per week.

Pros

Free meal free beverages.. good music.

Cons

The shift leader are little snot nosed teenagers that have no clue on how to manage anyone or anything. They are all paid a little above min wage, little pay ,big power tripping attitudes. IMost of them came from McDonalds which says it all. Upper management have their own way of doing things, and order you around like your worthless. You are told by one to do things one way, and then another does it another way, you dont know if you are coming or going. You couldnt pay me enough to stay in this type of work environment.
