Pros

They do have insurance as long as they let you work the hours to keep it. You get a pretty good workout Helps improve people skills

Cons

Depends on the manager but they are always changing so you really can't get used to a certain way things are ran. Often times they will not give you enough hours to keep your insurance or they will make you work long stretches like 10+ days in a row. The managers most often will not back you up and allow customers to basically abuse you. Very, very emotionally and physically draining job. Like I said, great motivation to get through school.

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
