Pros

Regulars- Regular Customers are usually pretty cool, once they get to know you. Majority of the co-workers are nice, however not what I would consider hanging out with outside of work.

Cons

Pay is awful, they do not compensate for unearned wages for their salespeople that do not earn at least minimum wages. Promotions can be from with in however generally they are recruited from outside the company.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
