Pros

I got an employee discount?

Cons

Not paid nearly enough. Management is shifty. Large staff is very clique-y and every day was another super dramatic episode of some poorly themed soap opera. Personal life was a-mess from scheduling not taking any "time off" requests or allowing any changes to set schedules for school/activities/otherwise. Communication is a complete joke. I went two whole weeks without any sort of feedback from management.
