Pros

- Myriad of activities to keep you busy - most of the time everyone learns every job, so you're not stuck doing the same thing constantly. - Regular raises throughout first year, and every following year

Cons

- Slow shifts can be boring - Doesn't recognize a lot of holidays, though holiday pay is double pay whether you work that day or not

Pros

In most aspects, this job is fairly easy. The only thing I truly dislike is that the turn around rate is insanely high. Then it leaves us way understaffed and the management is left to pick up the pieces. Which usually means doing three or more tasks at once like running retail, processing, and production all at once. In a retail/route store, this is a fairly stressful task. But we never get pats on the back from upper management, just complaining if we end up with over time because of it. A bigger raise incentive would be amazing as well.

Cons

The people I work with are mostly like family. That and who can complain about free doughnuts all day long.
