Pros

I miss this place - bosses are fantastic -co workers usually are great( watch out for the young guys at highland park tho- a little flirty, but harmless. just shrug them off) - pay is great - monthly inservices bring a sense of community with jokes, free pizza, and learning more about being better at your job - there is gifts to keep warm and end of year party

Cons

its hard to get a big raise quick. you are evaluated by management, but mostly parents evaluate you which determines if you get a raise - only some of their management is rude and condescending. i suspected those who were felt threatened I was in competition with them for their jobs. I was not i am in school and focus my ambitious attitudes there - Sometimes management lies( not all, but one weird employee did. maybe i should have reported that. )

Pros

Gives you space to really develop yourself skills if this is something you want to do.

Cons

It has become corporate and money driven. The bottom line is becoming more important than families. Things feel chaotic and corporate doesn’t communicate well. Management is constantly over worked and underplayed. There is no way to accomplish all of the new mandates corporate has implemented in the last few years
