Pros

Pleasant work environment. The employee discount is great. They will give you time off whenever you need it. I like the nature of the work.They provide free food occasionally if sales are good.

Cons

Loyal and hard working employees are not compensated fairly. Steady employees are not well appreciated. Management is far removed and impersonal with employees. Impossible to earn a living wage unless you are a manager.
