Pros

Lots of young employees. I’ve made friends I’ll probably talk to for a long time

Cons

Terrible management. They’ll overwork you. Belittle you. Older coworkers will act like they’re your managers and make you do the absolute most

Pros

Nice atmosphere in the shops and the people working there tend to be nice

Cons

Understaffed on service counters and expected to do the jobs of multiple people. People placed in management positions without the skillset.
