Pros

customers are friendly, its a job and they hire just about anyone, employees learn to lean on each other or you will get bullied out of there, good chance on advancing to manager or so if you learn the vindictive ways

Cons

my list would never stop about the two WH I worked for, the wife was a slave driver and her husband (from another country where women are dirt) was a sexist pig. Corporate says to operate one way and the owners do it their own way until corporate comes around for the day. and corporate does not act upon sexual harassment they brush it under the rug for others to suffer at the same WH from the same offender. they will not offer full time as in 40 weekly they will do everything in their power not to pay you overtime but to work you everyday possible even if its for 4 hours 7 days a week.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
