Pros

Salary and benefits are quite good and the company's efforts in the space of child adoption is truly admirable. My personal employment there was, for the most part, a positive experience and I truly enjoyed working with most of the people I interacted with on a daily basis.

Cons

Combative and manipulative inter-departmental politics stemming from Marketing and its leadership. Avoid Marketing-related opportunities at all costs. If you are thinking of getting involved in their digital development efforts... know what you're getting into and the difficulty you will face advising sound courses of action. Senior leadership has been schizophrenic in their priorities and at times outright hostile to other departments (again, mostly Marketing) while never owning their mistakes.

Pros

You work with great people that you grow to enjoy being around, it's fun sometimes, some customers are really nice and make your day. You gain a sense of pride and accomplishment when you get your check

Cons

No chance for raises, no breaks, you get some customers that are completely rude and literally scream at you and all you can do is say "you're sorry" (which I guess you get at a lot of fast food places), the store is nasty and old and all the machines are broken and it just gets really stressful and you come to loathe it. The worst part is the fact that you're making minimum wage for all of the stuff you put up …
