Pros

Free meal free beverages.. good music.

Cons

The shift leader are little snot nosed teenagers that have no clue on how to manage anyone or anything. They are all paid a little above min wage, little pay ,big power tripping attitudes. IMost of them came from McDonalds which says it all. Upper management have their own way of doing things, and order you around like your worthless. You are told by one to do things one way, and then another does it another way, you dont know if you are coming or going. You couldnt pay me enough to stay in this type of work environment.

Pros

You are told to be full of energy and you have to be happy. You are allowed to talk about non work subjects just as long as you are working.

Cons

The pay is minimum wage with raises nothing to dance about.. I'm looking for something else just because of the pay. 8/hour.

Pros

Fast Paced, lots of "opportunity", good training videos, many different areas to work in

Cons

Where do I begin? Well, hours are something you've got to fight to have. You will never get a 40 hour week, because you WILL get sent home. For instance, getting there by 4, and leaving by 6. On top of that, you get your lunch within an hour of being there, sometimes 16 minutes after you clock in. Management butts heads really badly. No one listens to everyone else. The videos are a way to show how things are done, and things are NEVER done anywhere near that. If you're a good employee, you will be treated horrendously. They will expect you to fly to the moon and back. The pay is awful. No one works as a team, it's every man for themselves type of attitude. Schedules are done poorly, you never know what's going on. The schedule may change up to a day before the week starts.
