Pros

I gained customer service experience after working for the company for a year and a half, I formed lifelong friendships with several people there, half of the people are very important to me and I keep in contact with, the other half of my coworkers I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to work with

Cons

Hard work and dedication goes unrecognized, sexist bosses who aren't good at their jobs, demanding customers who are rarely satisfied, benefits aren't great like they used to be- not worth staying for, nobody is happy to be there, low wage that rarely raised, felt like I was treated less-than because of my position and the location I was in

Pros

Excellent, straightforward, comprehensive training program and learning modules to ramp up quickly. Management was reasonable and attentive.

They also make sure people don't stay longer or go without a break after the 5-hour mark; this is a California statute with which I was unfamiliar (I was guilty of working long hours without a lunch break in CT due to

Cons

This likely comes with the territory, but a significant percentage of the target customer demographic are of the needlessly disrespectful, uncivil, infantile, entitled, and rich variety. They contrive conflict and attempt to pin it on the workers, or needlessly change their order after it has been obtained. It is child's play. Company policy says to never call the police unless they are a threat to safety, but they absolutely do disturb the peace and ruin the experience for others. It doesn't help that there is an expensive (not necessarily upscale in terms of class) drinking establishment in the same plaza.
