Pros

Flexible at creating schedules, small environment where you can get to know most people, low-stress, managers are approachable, nothing too demanding.

Cons

Wages are capped at an extremely low amount. I've been working there for over ten years and employees who have worked half that time are almost making as much as I am. Still, despite no change in pay, upper management (district managers and up) are continuously asking you to do more and assume more responsibilities. Immediate management is sympathetic but there's nothing they can do about pay. In short, if you're just looking for a temporary job while look for another or go to school, this works. If you're looking to start a career, I would choose a different company.

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
