Pros

Opportunities for career development and promotions Extensive training for crew and management Fast atmosphere Good coworkers Plenty of projects for the right person

Cons

Inner circle (in with management, gave away food, promotions, raises, etc) Unfairly promoted based on 'personality assessment', not fact-based actions Emphasis on speed over quality Tendency to blame crew for screw ups Negative customers can be particularly difficult (dollar tree budget, five star expectations)

Pros

Co-workers are friendly, hours are good, work easy. Shift supervisors are on time and ready to work. Flexible with hours. A feeling of a team work environment.

Cons

Too many supervisor/manager changes, working on Christmas and not getting paid holiday pay, high turnover, the hiring process should weed out the more blatant "non-worker friendly/team player" kind of people.
