Pros

they Give you Good hours, reliable schedules, and pay that is slightly more than minimum wage. You also get a chance to earn overtime

Cons

They treat their workers like slaves, it smells disgusting, they cut back hours so you lose any over time! They do things like extending lunch by a half hour, or sending you home early, especially around the holidays
