Pros

People do move up the ladder if you know the right people. The majority of the promotions are kept in house.

Cons

Pay is a joke and they do EVERYTHING they can keep from paying you benefits. They will work you full time hours but claim they cant hire anyone full time. The top of the ladder is full of your typical white males who are so against change and anyone trying to invoke it.

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.
