Pros

Low barrier to entry- as long as you can pass a drug screen + background check. Unlimited doughnuts and beverages while 'on the clock.' The day-to-day work is mind numbingly easy (under ideal conditions). Employee discounts on food and merchandise. Decent health insurance.

Cons

It's a monotonous grind. Groundhog Day. Lack of communication between management and employees. Sloppy shift handoffs. Supervisors cut too many corners, and their employees do the same. Employees are generally unhappy, downtrodden, and complain to anyone who will listen, because management's hands are tied from being able to solve problems at their level. This leads to a "learned helplessness" where employees lose faith in their boss/job/company, which drives down morale and productivity.

Pros

nice people to work with, and of course, doughnuts

Cons

extremely understaffed and leadership refuses to backfill while increasing expectations of shrinking teams. long-term, this is not sustainable and people will continue to leave. internal data is a mess, no confidence in outputs and requires a ton of manual calculation
