Pros

The large number of emoployees enables one to take time off if time requested is not on a holiday.

Cons

Extremely low wage. Extremely poor bath facilities and lack of cleanliness in employee free space and baths. Extremely low quality health benefits with high deductibles. Very small percentage of educated staff, which I am sure is related to the low salaries and poor benefits. Work all holidays. Work nights and weekends. Work until 12 midnight and have to be back at the store the next morning at 5am. Work 9 - 10 days in a row because of the way the work week ends/starts.

A majority of the employees were great to work with. Benefits are great while you're in the union.

Cons

inconsistent hours, horrible pay, unsafe working conditions due to building is actually falling apart. No discipline or accountability for emplyees who refuse to follow company policies. Corporate impossible to get in touch with.
