Pros

I enjoyed the free food during break

Cons

The manager I had before I left literally did not give me a raise despite working there for a number of years, and refused to accommodate with my school schedule. I was really disappointed because I'd always come in whenever someone called in sick. But other than that, I had a great time working there.
