Great pay, treated like child, management all uneducated

Pros

pay, some of the customers are nice. I made over $21.00 an hour and had triple time pay on holidays. However, I was under the old contract. Current employees have to wait longer to make that amount and schedules are a pain. To get a day off is like pulling teeth. If you value your family and your life outside of work...do not work here. People are rude and management always takes their side.

Cons

everything, management, customers, management, management
