Pros

They pretty much gave you infinite freedom, free pizza, and almost no one comes to this location.

Cons

When it gets rushed, it gets rushed, and the managers at my time of employment didn't help much.

Pros

-Generally a relaxed environment if in a slower paced store -Most managers willing to work around school or other issues

Cons

-A lot of managers were extremely prone to blatant favoritism -Had to consistently ask for more hours (was getting scheduled less than 20 when available for and expected to work up to 70) -Stressful with improperly trained management or instores -The app sometimes wouldn’t work which would then put more stress and frustration on the staff
