Pros

Managers have always been easy to get along with, flexible. Free food, the work is pretty easy, pays better than minimum wage. Perfect for students, easy part-time weekend job for working post-grads.

Cons

High manager, employee turnover. Can be a hectic environment at times. Promotions are rare, no opportunity for growth.
