Pros

The pay was decent and on time.

Cons

I had to work for six hours which allowed a thirty minute dinner break which they made me take before I began to work. This meant I got to work, clocked in then clocked back out to sit for thirty minutes, then clock in again to work a straight five and a half hours. If during our work time we got hungry or needed to sit for a minute, we would be reprimanded or even fired. By the end of the shift me and my fellow employees would have sharp pain in our legs and lower back, and often beyond hungry. I was also sexually harassed while working here and instead of helping, I was fired by management under the excuse that I was "too friendly". The only thing they did when I informed the managers about what was happening was that I should have someone else serve them when they came back. It was extremely hard to move positions and the management definitely plays favorites.
