Absolutely delicious

Pros

Food is great but discount is only 20% and 30% for ice cream. I got 2 weeks off of work after starting and they didnt fire me so that was cool. It is a great environment, people are generally always in a good mood.

Cons

In the beginning it really hurts your wrists and shoulders but you will learn to switch it up and try not to be stressed. Co workers seem to keep to themselves and the manager only gives out like 2-3 days a week but keeps a lot of employees. No room for growth either.
