A means to an end.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent job to keep as a high school or college student.

Cons

Hours are awful. Pay is awful. Management is promoted without any training or experience. Management is chosen based upon how cheaply corporate can get away with paying them, not by merit or by management or by professional experience. This leads to inept management. Harassment in the work place goes unchecked because no one wants to deal with it. Awful place to work.
