Pros

The co-workers and trainers were very nice and provided feedback in a nonabrasive manner. Customers were very pleasant to interact with.

Cons

Very disrespectful and poor internal communication within the company. I was terminated because the secretary who was in charge at the time (they'd been without a manager for some time) didn't like me as a person. No reason was given for the termination at the time of dismissal and the reason given later was "Your behavior after your termination is the reason you were terminated"--apparently I was fired so they could see what I would do after the fact. Poor pay during the training period (only $9/hour). Promoted by length of service rather than merit.

Pros

When the customers tipped you.

Cons

Long hours, horrible mean coworkers. Lots of gossip. If you value yourself and your self worth do not work here. The girl who trained me my first day she expected me to know everything and be as fast as her. She would talk about me behind my back to the other girl we were teamed up with. The other girl was nice and understanding and she was part of the reason I didn’t quit after day one. This trainer girl was horrible! She ruined my self confidence and made me feel stupid. She got mad when I worked tomorrow only slow and got mad when I was too fasts. I have watched 3 new employees come and go and all the people that have been there for years treated them horribly and talked about them behind their back. I only stayed for as long as I did because of the job market being bad right now. This had to be the worst job I’ve had in my life! Also the manager will tell you the hours are 8am to 4pm with occupational 7pm off times but everyday we went over 4 pm. I had no life and my body hurt so bad. Please find another job because this one isn’t good!
