Mediocre company, but poor work-life balance

Pros

Generally friendly atmosphere, coworkers become good friends. Great place to work part-time while in school

Cons

Low benefits for managers (no maternal/paternal leave, no sick days, no personal days, no flexibility) Long hours, poor corporate attitude, managers seem brain-washed by the company. Main goal is immediate profit return with little attention to employee needs. Very patriarchal.

Pros

Great for bike/moped delivery. Good for part-time, potential for full time with overtime. Opportunities for raises for taking on duties such as meat slicing. No drug test.

Cons

No visible tattoos for new employees. Hard to get more hours during off season. Bikes have to deliver rain or shine, unless you have a car for those unbearable weather days. Hard to find parking for your car and due to limited amounts of delivery signs, you may find yourself battling several parking tickets from overzealous metermaids.
