Pros

I received a weekly paycheck while working here. Got a lot of time to just think while I was working.

Cons

I was working in the deli/bakery as a closer. I was supposed to be done and out by the time the deli/bakery closed, but I regularly got out at midnight instead because there was so much to do and so many extra customers at the end of the night with absolutely no extra help what so ever. I have young children on top of that, which made it even worse. I was constantly left scathing notes every morning on my supervisor's desk for everyone to see, and I'd never even met the lady. I also did everything I was supposed to do, but there was always something wrong with everything I did according to the supervisor. I was also heavily pregnant at the time I was hired, and was fired a day before my 30 day trial period ended for "not washing the floor", when in reality it was perfectly clean and in fact cleaner that night than it had been the day before. The reality was, they fired me because I was pregnant and had to come up with some bogus reason to fire me and they did. I had to take videos every single night after I was done just to cover my own butt.
