      Pros

      Overall, the coworkers in the restaurant and in retail are friendly. Generally, there is an older staff who remain working in this less than appealing environment because they may require a job financially and may not be able to be hired because of age. T Consider as a short-term option for employment, until better opportunities become available.

      Cons

      Difficulty getting a person to address the paycheck issue. Took multiple calls to some unfriendly people before you could get someone who could correct errors. Left because manager ignored request for promotion, even when the corporate required training had been completed. And I possess education, experience, and have been training new staff as hired. Witnessed "firing" of a staff member by manager based on a customer hearsay, that was not supported by the other employees' testimony. Employee required to work holidays. Have clear plastic bags provided for use and required manager check of employee belongings and purses before leaving after each shift. Actually had a customer who was offended on my behalf after witnessing this check. An odd payroll option of direct deposit to a company via card.
