Pros

Easy to pick up the training, easy to get hired

Cons

Disorganized, didn't have enough hours for all the employees hired. I was working 2 hour shifts A WEEK. they then tried to convince people they hired for one location to go to another because they hired too many. Never knew when you were working, had to go in physically and check schedule or call in and ask.
