Pros

They pay a salary and give legal minimum of holidays - sometimes.

Cons

Lots of unpaid overtime, will keep pushing to extract as much unpaid work out of you as possible. No benefits of any kind. Salary is poor and company makes heavy use of temp staff whilst the owners are billionaires. Cramped office space with no investment in anything, broken chairs, broken printers, re-used computers that are nearly a decade old. Managers will barefaced lie to you to keep you working, do not listen to any promises they make!

Pros

Pro? Well, due to current laws, you are able to quit because slavery is illegal.

Cons

No perks. No reason to stick around to advance through the ranks as the only reason managers leave is because the job is either terrible, or they aren't receiving the support that is needed. Constantly having to find cover staff. No overtime, or extra pay for working holidays such as Christmas eve/day/boxing day or New years eve/day. £7.50 per hour is a joke compared to what you have to deal with. Working around fuel is no joke. Having to clean up fuel is no joke.
