Business Outlook

Pros

Free access for you and your friends (they technically have a limit to four per day but it's very easy to let people in as you please). Bosses were very supportive of workers in every situation, & I had the best coworkers.

Cons

Not a whole lot of hours, good for part time but if it's your sole source of income it might be a bit of an issue
