Pros

Nice teams to work with and the pupils were always pleasant. Can use the sports centre for free (swimming pool and gym).

Cons

Very short staffed at times, expected to cover more work than other people. Management are very set in their ways. Pay could be better.

Pros

School Holidays & job security & for people who are off ill a lot, sick pay.

Cons

Too many managers & not enough staff. Poor communication. Unfair pay scale. As minimum wage goes up other levels of pay remain the same meaning the gap is closing & chefs & supervisors are not paid much more than assistants. Too much in house promotions of people who lack experience & skills through unfair interviews rather than promoting people through merit. If you're a worker, the more you do the more you're expected to do until you reach breaking point where as if you do the bare minimum you'll be looked after and pampered to.
