Pros

My store specifically was very friendly and focused on team building unlike other stores where I worked the odd shift I worked in total for almost 5 years during and after my university studies and the managers have always been accommodating to my flexible requirements

Cons

Can go through a period of no rest (e.g. work a shift 12pm-11pm and then work at 7am the following morning) First general manager was terrible (once questioned me on why I wanted to take annual leave because I am here to work and not go on holiday)
