Cons

No work life balance No transparency when it comes to pay Scheduled to work long hours on the weekends (9-6:45, 11-8:15,12-9:30) Many visual changes within a short time period. No overtime. Upper management uses scare tactics to get positive results. Can only have one Saturday and one Sunday off between November and December No positive feedback only criticism.
