      Pros

      free food.. probably only pro I can think of.

      Cons

      they work you like a DOG. you are required to work a minimum of 2 doubles (14-15 hours), but most store managers work 3 at least. You don't get a lunch break because they provide you a 10 minute break with free food. You only get a lunch break if you work doubles which is crazy to even fathom. They do not care about their employees what so ever. Be prepared to work 55+ hour weeks.
