Best thing about vacation paid off is that they can approve it right away.

One week of paid vacation a year. Since I’m a server who makes money from tips they pay me a week of minimum wage. Obviously it’s not comparable to what I would actually make in a week, but it’s better than nothing

Terrible time off and vacation plan. Only 5 days a year vacation and only 2 holidays. Christmas and Thanksgiving
