Pros

The customers are friendly and helped my day get better

Cons

Food prep gloves were used for cleaning restrooms, instead of hospital gloves. No goggles worn when dumping glass. Bottling area and back stocking area is unclean, grimy and full of odor. Expectations were unrealistic and I got in trouble for not being up front getting carts (only 5 or 6 carts up front) when I had to fulfill my duties to tidy up the bathroom and mop the floors but was told by trainer that I was getting carried away and they told another associate. Mind you, this trainer wore soiled gloves while getting coffee and a separate time of eating while on the clock while they were supposed to be following me and training me more efficiently. I made it one day. Also the other quality clerk informed me that they've never cleaned the restroom and both associates were unclear what you used to clean the toilet with! What a let down.. Also the pay is very low and very low hours. This job did not meet my expectations whatsoever

Pros

Having health benefits is nice

Cons

The upper management in the surrounding Sacramento area is full of racist, ableist, shady and shallow people who think they are above the law.
