Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

You are well trained, and you will have all the information you need to know before you get on the floor and begin to work by yourself. The staff and the higher-ups are very much supportive and hands-on.

Cons

The schedule it’s a rotating schedule and there’s not much room for promotions unless someone leaves the job.
