Pros

You do make a lot of money and the staff is fun and easy going. You do get half off food, free drinks (coffee and soda) plus you can get benefits after a year.

Cons

The management is horrible, biased and chooses favorites. Get on managers good side and you will get a good schedule but if you make him mad he will take away days.

Thanks for your feedback! We are truly sorry to hear that you feel shifts are based on being a manager's favorite vs performance. We will continue to educate our managers on the best ways to assess contribution to the team and success in order to produce a a more equitable schedule.
