Pros

not a difficult place to work if you have any kind of work ethic or brain.

Cons

as a GM often working well over the mandatory 50 hours a week. have not had a vacation in over 5 years. They say paid holidays but really you only get paid for 40 hours a week so on a holiday week they only pay you for 32 hours of normal pay and 8 hours of "holiday pay" even though you still work at least 5 days and 50 hours, so you aren't really getting any kind of holiday benefit unless you consider not having to be at work on chirstmas day or thanksgiving day a benefit. your hourly full timers do get paid 8 hours of holiday, so that means you have to schedule them for 4 days on a holiday week which means you'll be working the holiday and more than likely 6 days to pick up that slack. they cut hours and then add extra tasks and don't take any of that into consideration when reviewing your performance.

Pros

Work environment is good, feels like you make a difference by helping customers in need. Hours are flexible which is great for when life comes at you.

Cons

Typical angry customers here and there. You can't live off of pay unless you're a general manager.
