Pros

Nice team environment, lots of training

Cons

You don’t get set days so never know when you will be working and you have to request a day off 6 weeks in advance so if you have an appointment booked less than 6 weeks in advance you won’t be able to take time off work for it, shifts are 10 hours and if busy you will not get a break as there aren’t enough staff to cover, you will only either get a 5am start or 11pm finish, never any mid day hours
