Pros

I was fortunate to work with some great staff. The flexible hours were great while I was a college student studying for exams.

Cons

The company did not pay appropriately, and it took 6 months of constant correspondence and intervention to implement a pay raise for my promotion and added responsibilities. Constantly forcing locations to cut hours and overwork employees. Terrible pay for the majority of employees.
