Pros

Pay is not bad for a college student. If you’re ok with working while you friends party every weekend lol. They promote from within so that’s a really good thing but at the same time you have to get your name out here to get those better positions.

Cons

Late night and warehouse work. Not for everyone. It doesn’t seem like all opportunities are made available to the people on the floor.
