Pros

I worked with many great people within the company. Many were within the department I was in. The positives was that it allowed myself to gain experience when other companies wouldn't provide that without gaining such. However, the pay was great.

Cons

There were a lot of challenges faced among the culture. In a way it felt that everyone was watching what you were doing at any given time. If you talked with another coworker for to long it would brought to your attention. While I was working there to keep it similar to the manufacturing side of operations (although we were a completely different building) it was required that we clock in and out to use restroom facilities. The benefits in today's age didn't seem to align with the current times. Although right out of college for the first 3 years you were only allowed to have 5 paid days off. You could take unpaid time because every employee is hourly although to get permission was sometimes troublesome.

Pros

Strict rules on being late. You get your hours during the summer. There aren't many pros about this job. The pay but it's not worth what you put up with while working there.

Cons

They over work you. You constantly have to do things that aren't in your job description making you fall behind in your own work causing you to get yelled at. I was a carryout and I saw at least 10 carryouts go through there in my 7 months. They treat you like a dog. Management definitely needs improvement. Other coworkers are racist and when the become overworked they're rude to everyone. Some management is the same age as you are when hired in. They are very gender oriented. In my 7 months the all but one male on cash line was female. The GM is rude I saw him cuss out a customer and the management talks behind your back also about customers. There is a lot of drama. Overall this is a terrible place to work for you will regret going into work everyday and begin to question why you do it.
