Pros

good benefits, good group of workers, food is really good, could get all the hours you want since there wasn't any one else wanting them

Cons

management dosent' like each other and told each other so, often. Was told I would work one day then it would be changed, not allowed to work in other areas of the store

Pros

Parking. Thats all I can think of.

Cons

Food is left all over the floors. ITs like working at a subway. You make sandwiches all day. The catering coordinator is just a sandwich maker too. They promise full time but you get part time. There are NO benifits untill you go to management and salary... even then you are a sandwich maker! The co workers are less than helpful or kind. The management also pushed there political views down my throat which I didnt appreciate.

Pros

Discounts on food purchases. Experience in food service industry. Variety of work jobs and assignments which can fit the individual.

Cons

Multiple skills and responsibilities are not recognized. Salary does not reflect an individual who has been trained on multiple modules or is capable of filling in for others in multiple different tasks. Must befriend one of the multiple managers to hope to advance or earn respect.
