Pros

Pay Some employees Sara, supervisor, great, but caught in the middle, between verbally abusive manager and employees trying to be treated right.

Pros

They pay okay, but constantly implement budget cuts, so you don't work many hours even as a full-time employee.

Cons

Nepotism: The assistant manager has her whole family working there.

Management sucks and there's no training. Then they get mad at you for not knowing how to do anything.
