      Pros

      Sometimes you get tips. Definitely room to "climb the ranks".

      Cons

      Drama. Management was unprofessional. Wouldn't work with you on your availability. They cut hours and days if they were upset with you. Paychecks were small even when working 40 hrs. No breaks. Even if you don't eat you still have money come out of your check every shift you work. I received no training and would get reprimanded for not knowing things.

      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.
