Pros

Somewhat okay pay, Weekly pay was nice, Most people are cool to work with here.

Cons

They paid my two separate wages $13/hr for cashier and on nights i was PIC/Manager i made $20/hr after about 9 months they switched it and made it so i made $13/hr from 5pm-9pm and from 9pm-12am i made the $20/hr which then lead to my checks coming up short every week and being forced to wait another week for compensation.

Pros

There are no pros of working here

Cons

Everything. Long and tiring shifts with no hours. Employees are not valued. Makes you hate the human race. Makes you hate your life. They'll blow up your phone at 7 am because someone called out. No ten-minute breaks unless you choose to abandon your coworker to the heavy workload. 20,000 steps or more in an 8-hour shift and you'll still get told you need to do your job faster. Bad pay.... disgusting restrooms...I could go on and on.
