Pros

Culture is alive and well Financially sound with no risks Fun and down-to-earth people abound Operating in a great industry with terrific brands

Cons

There is always so much going on. This is great from a career growth perspective, but it makes it difficult to do anything really well.

Pros

Fun working environment. Great food!

Cons

When I took the job I was told that I could work 3 nights a week. Since I was working around my husbands schedule, three nights a week would be perfect. They constantly scheduled me extra shifts. I had three meetings with management to make sure they would remember that I only could work three nights a week. The last time they scheduled me the fourth night (and it was again a problem) I had to put my 2 weeks notice in. (I also worked weekends)
