Pros

Nothing positive to say about this company

Cons

Ridiculous scripts we have to follow when interacting with “guests,” management system was very ineffective and favoritism seems to be the main drive in this company. I felt I was dehumanised and bullied while working for this company. They refused to give me hours on a weekly basis because I was “too old” to work and my availability was “not good enough” (even though I had very flexible availability). Manager was very unprofessional and rude. She literally forced me to quit so she didn’t have to bother explaining why I don’t have any shifts every week.
