Good discounts, but poor leadership and long hours

Pros

Discount was really good compared to other companies

Cons

Late nights. No breaks allowed besides a 30 minute lunch break during a 10-12 hour shift, which you have to clock out for. Leadership sucked and truly don’t want to help the other employees. You won’t see much of your family if you work here.
