      Pros

      Don’t think there is any Pros.

      Cons

      MANAGEMENT - Never bother to acknowledge you. - Sit in the office all day and don’t bother to help out. - No appreciation / recognition. They USE staff by getting them to be “supervisors” but don’t pay the correct wage. - DONT bother reporting problems as they get ignored. Especially about other staff, you will just get moved while the problem stays and gets worse. - Everything left to last minute even though you continue to remind them ; stock, functions. - SOOOO much food waste and they don’t care. Yet cut everyone’s shifts to try save money.
