Pros

flexibility in scheduling, subsidized meals, working with many different age groups, even though you must wear company-provided shirt (which makes selecting clothes for work a no-brainer), company allows coworkers with visible tattoos, big holes in their ears, and pink hair to work there, which is cool.

Cons

pay, pay, pay. the hourly pay is very low. sadly, with the economy in its current state, the company gets away with paying good employees very badly.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
