Pros

Better than sitting at home doing nothing. Aside from that, pretty much nothing. Working is a chore, co-workers are lazy jerks. Don't even get lunch/discounts.

Cons

- Pay is near minimum wage - If that isn't low enough, must join union and pay union fees/dues - if that isn't low enough, only guaranteed 12 hours/week - Management? What management? - Extremely high turnover rate. Newcomers go just as you finish training them. Probably because they're not stupid enough to stay.

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.
