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.

Pros

Quality of life. I open in the mornings and leave in the early afternoon. I am able to be home with my family every evening and attend activities. That is important to me. We have competitive pay too. It really feels like family here. We all work together as a team assisting one another.

Cons

Sure, sometimes bad things happen. Just as it could in any company. However, we are quick to resolve any issue that arises.
