Pros

Overall it is a good place to work. Depending how many hours you work you work, you can recieve benefits. Managers get free meals, employees get 50% off meal and everyone gets 25% off when not on clock. Our corporate store would give gift card, movie tickets when a good job was done.

Cons

Its real stressful when inspections come
