Pros

Made good money it all depends on what terminal and how high you’re on the seniority list.

Cons

Messy Management, Messy workers. Mean girls and boys club. Old servers and bartenders won’t get their life together and leave. The get lazy and feel entitled like they went to school for what they’re doing. Their union is a joke and always playing both sides. The union is about as fake as the government and ran just like one. Will never fully be for the people only for themselves.
