Pros

Staff are very friendly but some might threaten you. Manager has a condition that causes her to throw up in the back office every so often and burps in your face.

Cons

Long working hours, pay is not what is advertised and fully depends on location business to be able to meet bonuses. Upline is non responsive and lies to be able to get people in the door.
