Pros

The money is really good if you are good at what you do...

Cons

Management is horrible and the people over management are worse! These people only care about money and nothing about the customers or staff. Staff is treated poorly and just gets what they get on the schedule with no accommodations to their lives. Customers are ignored by management as they hide in the back and dont look impressed when they have to come out.
