Pros

If the place slammed co-workers are always willing to stay after shift to help until the rush is over.

Cons

Inconsistent management, scheduling only one representative - usually female - during late night shift (unsafe), no panic button to summon help from law enforcement when there are dangerous and aggressive customers, Full-time employees are sent home if they go overtime and management has to hustle to call people in to cover on days off.
