Pros

Friendly co-workers and guests, fun place to work, the discounts are decent and kids think you are cool when you tell them where you work.

Cons

The quality of the product has declined, most of the benefits have been changed or are gone, the raises are very little if you even get one, the part time workers get very few hours so that creates a bigger turn-over rate, the amount of hours you are given to run the store is not enough on many days.
