Never work here.

Business outlook

Pros

Very hard to think of anything. You get trusted with cashing up tills and running outlets solo within your first week.

Cons

- Working solo 75-90% of your shifts. - Very little support - Management do not listen and then have a go at you for reasons you've already attempted to address before. -Stressful - Exhausting - Staff always coming and going - Very rude customers who do not appreciate that you're working alone and cannot produce fast service. No fault of your own but you get the stick for it. The list goes on.
