Pros

- Awesome staff -Flexible Schedule -Great culture -Hands-off management technique -The experience is a resume booster

Cons

-It depend on your work schedule and what shift works best for you. For me, working some night shifts was very difficult because I found it so hard to work up from bed, work and keep my eyes open, especially during winter. I manage, but sometimes I wish I was in bed - Some of the student manager are back stabbers, When they have a problem with you. Instead of confronting you or let their feelings be known, they will secretly try to get you fire while pretending to be you friend. I was always cool with all the student managers except for "HIM"
