Pros

There's a real opportunity to develop and hone your people skills. There is no back of the house. You are exposed to the general public no matter your position with the company. Use this to your advantage in meeting new people and developing social skills.

Cons

There willingness to hire anybody and unwillingness to let people go. This can lead to a sketchy work environment and lots of bad experiences for the customer.

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.
