Pros

- weekly rotas so easy to get time off at short notice - really nice staff members - efficient processes - free food on shift and the take home

Cons

- no sick pay - unpaid breaks - rotas often not given until the Friday of each week - minimum wage - no clear holiday guidelines - all contracts allow Boojum to cut your hours whenever they wish. E.g. full time contract but can be given 22 hours a week if they see fit
