      Good luck if you have an illness/disability and a woman.

      Pros

      You get paid, I guess, but good luck getting your hours and actually getting the money you work for. I guess there are no pros unless you're a man and love to butt kiss.

      Cons

      They take money away from you when you don't get your hours. So if you leave the company, they'll demand money be paid to them. Managers aren't trained properly and such favoritism is frankly sickening. Treated like scum and you pretty much need a cloning machine to do everything and be in 5 different places at once. 10+ hour shift with only half hour break. Not allowed any longer as you need permission. I can go on and on.

      Pros

      Good Benefits Good Salary

      Cons

      Hard to advance or move positions, there is a huge problem with nepotism and favoritism. There are long hours with not much recognition, unless you are one of the favorites. You are looked down upon if you have a life outside of the company, as in, you have family obligations that limit your time to 40 hours a week. Not all of the managers are qualified because they just earned degrees and have no experience in managing individuals-- some who've actually had managing experience or previous professional experience. HR is a disaster depending on the section you have to deal with.
