Pros

• Room for advancement, if you wish • Coworkers are awesome • Pay is usually 15/16 per hour (don't settle for less!)

Cons

• Managers can & will take as many breaks as they want, but youre not allowed to take any breaks, not even to eat. • Lots of gaslighting, manipulation and lying - literally forging displinary paperwork to make you Look like a bad employee. • Managers are irresponsible and will fire more than hiring • Managers will outright refuse to hire more people, even if theres only one person on shift (when theres supposed to always be 2) • Abusive management, will single out employees, manipulate & intimidate, and edit hours to include less pay
