Pros

everyone is great to work with, get off a lot for college breaks, compensation is good, OT, lots of opportunities. benefits, love my hours, mon- fri 6am-3pm, free food while working. there a lot more pros then cons.

Cons

because i have to write a con! physically hard work at the beginning but it gets easier when i got stronger. but the biggest con would be, i came from another state with labor rules that by law your supposed to get . a 10-15 break every 2 hours and not to get a break for 7 1/2 hours then go home an hr later is hard to be consistently working. but we do what we have to do.!
