Pros

Flexible work schedule, Management is very forgiving when it comes to learning the ropes. Learning about tools and their uses, customers really rely on you.

Cons

When it gets packed, expect to not take breaks and late lunches, high turn around. Pay is stagnant. Everyone but management and couple long time workers are part-time.

Pros

As it stands - I haven't seen much in the way of pros because I am too busy picking up after everyone else that leaves!

Cons

Turnover rate is incredibly higher than any job I've worked in my life; ill managed, poor work conditions, and generally a negative place to be!
