Pros

The pay is amazing, bonuses based on shift sales, buy stocks, corporate is very good and attentive

Cons

Very stressful, many people won't listen to you and it just leads to not being motivated as much as I should be, and most managers are just looking out for themselves rather than what you need or have going on.
