Pros

The quicker you get in, the quicker you get out

Cons

Where to start? Forced to work overtime, managers are unproffesional, backstabbing people. Unapproachable and try to dictate things to you. Nobody actually liking working there. Certain managers talking bad about other members of staff to you. The atomosphere is toxic
