Pros

-Free/Discounted food -Cool people I still hang out with outside of the job

Cons

Where shall I begin? Management was horrible, I was promised a raise after the first 6 months of working there but a little bit over a year of working there I never was even considered for a raise. yet I was always told that I was one of the best people working there and when I finally put in my 2 weeks notice, I was offered constantly the raise.
