Pros

Applies to Corporate only. High turnover means lots of opportunities to move up. Most employees are young and have high energy, fun to work with. Lots of beautiful women around.

Cons

Environment of fear: constant messages about what not to do, very strict breaks, 30 minute lunch, cameras everywhere and security bag checks as you leave (even for Corporate). No benefits for first 3 months, no paid time off until you've been there for 6 months! Severely underpays employees, no good system in place to promote the high-performing employees, so the "good ones" end up leaving.
