They're paid insane amounts of money and they're on a 0 hour contract because it's easier for the company to call everyone on their books up and ask them short notice if they can do a 12 hour stint at a castle out in the middle of nowhere than it is to regularly have the same person provide the same service. It works well for my friend and everyone that works there because they're all young people (from about 16-24) and are either at school or are students.
Yeah they are good for those with no commitments. But if you have a house and stuff..its no good having no guaranteed work (I know this because of my job )
