Pros

Cool people Great learning experience I stopped working there and my mental health improved dramatically.

Cons

Terrible managers When theres a rush you might be stuck alone on a line people sometimes don't pull their own weight making you struggle and flop around for the whole day trying to pick up after them. Absolutely no advancement for new hires. Terrible Hours Mostly Mexican workers and black workers will be treated worse if not outright dismissed in comparison
