Congrats on getting a job, really! I think the zero hour may be good for students on break. My son did a zero hour contract with Primark, great for his work ethic, but considering his qualifications in agriculture, not ideal. He is working as a reptile handler now on a perm contract, a module he trained on.

The amount of times he would phone me crying because he didn't have enough hours to live on was crazy. They can adjust your hours at any time to suit themselves.

The market right now is shutting out a ridiculous amount of 16-24s unless they take up 0 hour contracts, which to me is just wrong.
