Pros

Good walk in area, able to preform various services, nice coworkers, client return is very high. Pay could be good

Cons

They want you to do so much for the amount you get paid. Sometimes some things are out of your control but it gets blamed on you. Most of the time your managers don't put in things to corporate that they are supposed to, so when you are supposed to get a raise you never do. Also no floor mats so standing for that long kiss your legs and back.
