Pros

Loved my job and I was good at it. Had to tolerate favoritism and a boss who liked to belittle me in front of team members and my other managers

Cons

If you like being berated by an overweight moody general manager this is the perfect place for you. If you want to be appreciated for your above average performance and treated with respect, I would look elsewhere for employment
