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

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
