Pros

Really the best thing I can say is that my coworkers were wonderful.

Cons

Where do I start? Management at my location went downhill and started cutting hours of part time employees without reason. I had given my availability for the fall (current student) and received silence from them. The straw that broke the camel’s back was receiving notification that I had been terminated for no reason. Students and part time employees beware, not a fun job to be balancing work and anything else with!
