Pros

Reliable transportation and working conditions at the remote mine sites. I worked in the kitchens, cleaning living areas, and cleaning mine sites for 6 months with a working holiday visa. It was a great way to make some good money as a traveller. They are quick to fly you back home if there's an emergency. While i was working in a remote mine site i found out a family member had died. The had me on a plane back home in less than 8 hours.

Cons

No chance of getting visa sponsorship. Two straight weeks on site with one week home is rough on friendships and relationships. I'll avoid fly-in-fly-out work in the future. There are often a few employees at each location that do as little work as possible. not much you can do about that.

Pros

I am on zero hours contract and enjoy working with some fab people on match days. I always get break and a decent meal.

Cons

However at end of year I did not get full holiday pay that i had accrued. I was told that it was because Compass has decided to pay holiday pay in half day blocks - ie 4 hours at a time. So you can be owed 3.75 hours of holiday pay but they wont process it cos it doesnt fit their system. This process accross the thousands they employ must be saving them a lot of money
