Business Outlook

Pros

When you first get hired you get clothes to pick out and wear to work. After that in the spring and fall you get another allowance of clothing.

Cons

You are hired to work under 28 hrs but they are so understaffed that you end up working over 40,after 2 years no raises. The DM is very rude and biased.
