      The meal plan is great, not so much otherwise.

      Pros

      the meal plan is cheap and the benefits are nice.

      Cons

      low pay, mandatory overtime, anyone on a supervisor or manager level has no idea how to run a business. A lot of hassle dealing with an extreme disconnect between general workers and those making impulsive decisions that are often last minute. Toxic people also only get a slap on the wrist and often get moved or promoted vs actually fixing the problems.
