Pros

The system and advanced coworker break room/ease of communication Cool people, both customers and employees, cool atmosphere/culture Good benefits

Cons

Low pay long hours. Too many customers; no privacy. Hard to move up, Walk and stand on concrete for long hours. There is favoritism in whom they allow to move up. I’ve seen people barely be promoted after 10+ years. All the older established workers hold on to upstairs positions (easier work), so mostly only downstairs positions available. Basically no different than any other minimum wage job
