Pros

The mix of customers is very eclectic. It's kind of a more relaxed place to work. The work is generally fun.

Cons

If you work third (night) shift, you may not make minimum wage because there aren't enough customers. Trying to get management to compensate for the lack of minimum wage is like pulling hen's teeth. They will lie to you and do what ever will benefit them.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
