  • Best thing

    Even though I’m only a seasonal, it’s not really that busy even in Christmas time, and there isn’t much to do besides go on till or sort our messed up cards.

    Worst thing

    It can be really boring, and customers can be very fussy about balloons, there is little job rotation between people doing different tasks for the day, breaks are unpaid and sometimes they make me work a little bit longer then I’m contracted, I get payed minimum wage (£6.40) but because of taxes I’m paid £4.17 per hour right now, which gives me low job motivation.

    Worst thing

    Inconsistent hours. Not enough staff. Too long working hours on your feet working hard and no breaks.
