Pros

Flexible scheduling for students, pay is ok, discount is good. If you have good co-workers, it can be pleasant to work there. If the management is smart, they don't let customers walk all over you.

Cons

Upper management is very disconnected from what is really going on, favoritism was a problem, if you do well in a section, you'll get stuck there even if the section head is terrible and causes more problems than solutions. It was stressful when arriving at work, you were greeted with all the problems the worker before you didn't take care of then expected to clean up their mess.

Pros

If you have good relationship with your manager and you can trust them to have your back, it is an amazing place to work, and you will find success easy.

Cons

If you have lost the confidence of your manager, or have bad communication with your manager, it makes it very hard to be seen and be successful.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
