Pros

Decent pay for menial work General manager was very friendly Flexible scheduling

Cons

Health insurance expensive compared to wages. You can only get good insurance if you work a certain number of hours per year. They were only offering 25 hours per week, and at $9/hr it wasn't enough for gas, let alone to live off of. I think it's better suited to young students.
