Pros

The genuinely kind people were amazing and I still talk with a couple of them via text.ANY color hair, hairstyles that are considered "offensive, inappropriate, unprofessional" anywhere else are ENCOURAGED! The music is always on and is on a decent station. Examples are Bowie, some 90's hits, and many more. Ink and piercings are also encouraged. There are some really good people and hard workers there. And free pizza every single time you work no matter if you work 12 hours or 30 mins. You can just make a pizza and take it home. Free salad and drinks as well. I truly thought I was going to be there for the long haul. Some of the employees are so very kind but sadly there are less than five. I miss it very much. Faced paced, always something going on, fun and full of people almost all the time. Pay is pretty sweet at $10 to start and $10.50 after 90 days. Vacation time and sick leave is earned.

Cons

Where to start? I was duped into false hope that I would be safe there. I was even told that I "would be taken care of" as long as I work hard I will go far. Not a moment of proper and/or consistent training, chastised and threats of losing my job that I so badly needed because I had NO actual training. I was threatened that if I wasn't up to what ever their standard is by the next two days I would be let go. I had been there for four days, these days being made to press dough. No actual pizza assembly training or practice. The managers are always "off" on days that I remember HAVING TO be there like Friday, Saturday and sunday when I was a manager at a similar establishment. My hours went from 38 to 15 as "punishment for talking to the customers too much" while I prepared their food. I'm almost 30 years old and I have never in my 12 years of customer service heard from a manager or associate that talking with a guest is a problem. Fellow cooks will just walk away from the make table and then there is only me. So I chat with the guest. Not going to put my head down and pretend they aren't there or ignore them when they start a conversation. Anyway I could sit and write a ten page letter about all that's wrong with the way this place is being run but I dislike the way speaking so negatively makes me feel. Basically it's a lot of phony, caddy, two faced bull and it was worse than Jr high. And people that were there from the beginning were fired "because they said so or we don't really like you". Some quit out of fear for their sanity. I have trained many people and nobody is perfect within one working week.

Pros

Free food; Easy to understand job functions; Stable hours...for me at least; Pays good for a pizza place.

Cons

Store is usually understaffed; Most management are from the prison and a numbers of them carrying that prison attitude with them; Management play a lot of favoritism and micromanage those they don't like to the grind, and on top of that, they resort to threats a lot; There's not one single moment where everyone are happy during any time of the day.

Pros

10.50 an hour starting plus tip share( about 60+week), if you don't mind being discriminated upon and cursed at. Even the manager who was almost 50 was blatantly talking about seeing a young woman's vagina. She probably wasn't even 18 years of age

Cons

When your their, do not expect a break as your suppose to get, you will not receive it. it is very hostile and theirs so much tension in the room you can fill the ozone. Everyone that I seemed to work with their was on drugs, or drunk coming into work. Drugs were even being used outside in the back of the establishment. even the managers. Especially the managers.. Expect to get your vehicle vandalized and expect threats because you will receive them.
