Pros

You get weekends off. that’s the only good thing

Cons

Senior and middle management are absolutely incompetent. Everyone who is considered supervisor, assistant manager and manager only hold those titles because of longevity within the company and not the value of work they bring to their teams. Management tends to lie at an extremely high rate. Employees fear of retaliation after requesting time off. PTO requested a full year in advice denied a week before. The idea of give us everything and we give you what’s left over seems to be a core company value.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
