Pros

-Union benefits or so I hear. -Plus they fight just so damn hard for the workers to get a 25-cent raise every 1 to 100 years. -I get paid and it's hard to get fired.

Cons

-It's hard to get fired for other people too. I have some of the worst people working in my department. They don't do their job and yet they still have more hours than I do. -I'm promised more hours than 30 so next week I get 32 and the week after I get 25. So when I ask for more hours I end up getting 3 less hours. -I get yelled at for going over my hours on busy days and then get yelled at because I'm not doing work that's not in my job description and doesn't fit in my allotted hours. This happens back and forth every day.

Pros

The salary was lower than other firms but I really appreciated how many opportunities they gave me to move up. If you are hard working, there is plenty of growth

Cons

It's a low margin business that is stuck in their old ways of doing things. Its hard to convince upper management to change their ways. But I have no doubt that it is very different now under new ownership.

Pros

I found the training to be sufficient. Management worked well with the hourly employees. In general it was a very positive place to work.

Cons

Room temperature always seemed too cold. Some employees never knew from week to week what their hours would be (i.e., 6:00-3:00, 7:00-4:00, 3:00-midnight etc...) This makes it hard to plan anything or schedule personal appointments.
