Pros

Worked with great people enjoyed the different people I met while working there.

Cons

The hours were odd in terms of when you went in and got off ie. 6 to 3 3 to 10 10 to 6.. somethings can't be predicted so there was no way to call out if you went in at 6 am unless you knew your tire would blow at 3 am or knew you'd wake up with a sick kid at 3 am.. hard to live life that way also raises were slow to come and small
