Pros

There are no pros to working here unless you consider being able to work high as a kite a pro.

Cons

This place only cares about its bottom line and will literally work every single employee down to the bone. They don't care about employees as people, constantly undermine everyone, lie about profits, no pay raises, horrible schedules, not enough staff, HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT that expects you to do the work of 5 employees, the list goes on and on and on. Stay far away from this place if you value your mental health even a little bit.
