Pros

Good pay, benefits, and flexible schedule. You have some great regulars and coworkers that make it fun.

Cons

Favoritism, bullying from management, unequal standards. You got your regular entitled nightmare customers too. It is hard on your body, and the favorite workers don’t do their part. There is a pay cap, so don’t stay too long. Management.

Pros

variety of duties every hour. nice co-workers, 20% discount on products.

Cons

figuring out the health insurance. need to meet minimum hours in a 6month period to receive for next 6 months. In essence your health insurance can be dropped in which case you could opt for COBRA but at that pay rate I imagine it would be too costly for someone to afford. If you know you will have an average of 28 hours/week for approximately 6 months then it’s great as the cost of health insurance is affordable.
