Pros

Unlimited hours. It's literally so busy they will work you 7am to 1am if you let them. So if you need the money and don't have anything else going on its easy money.

Cons

Bad management Stingy 50% discount Terrible back breaking work They'll hire you as part time but you'll still get 40-70 hours per week They'll threaten to fire you if you miss work because you were sick Did I mention bad management? Management thinks you should get on your knees and thank them for letting you work there

Pros

Easy work. Fulfilling role. Flexible in many ways.

Cons

Lots of high school kids work there. Super young management. Sometimes drama conflicted with work which was odd.
