Pros

Nice colleagues and customer. Lots of opportunities to do different events.

Cons

JD bought the company. Started treating staff like the chavs they made their cash from selling tracksuits to. Searches ON CCTV! After every shift which wasted my own personal time.News flash I don't want to be strip searches on camera. Made me feel like a criminal everyone I went to work. Carrot and stick attitude to hours..12 hour contract and told I wasn't being flexible enough if on the odd occasion I couldn't stay for 4 more hours than I rostered to.
