Pros

I enjoyed my coworkers and my customers. I enjoyed the different challenges involved. I liked the static schedule. I enjoyed interacting with different departments.

Cons

You always feel like big brother is standing over you. They have issues with a lot you do even if it is to benefit the customers. They nitpick about a lot of things then wonder why they lose employees shortly after they hit the floor
