Pros

Pretty easy to get overtime Health insurance wasn't expensive

Cons

Coworkers were like clicky highschool kids ranging in age from 21-50 all with the same short sighted, false entitled ego. It's very racially bias, and race seems to take priority over experience. Some coworkers do work really hard, but others do just the bare minimum to get by while eyes are on them then just ride the clock when no one is looking. Alot young men who still live with their parents walking around like they're the hardest thing on earth. It was definitely a test of patience and self restraint working there.
