Pros

Big company and management is great. They train well and treat people good. Pay is good. Part time job with full time pay. Plenty of time off and possibility to earn more if needed.

Cons

Today's kids are awful. Don't get me wrong 80% of kids are just nice adorble kids but remaining 20 is a nightmare. Schools do not punish anymore thus bad kids won't change. Why would they - there is no reward nor punishment.
