Pros

Earned a meal when working certain hours, flexible schedule. Overall a positive experience especially given that a lot of college students were involved.

Cons

It is very difficult to get merit increases or even go up in the company. A lot of ongoing changes to hiring process can make it difficult for current employees and prospective employees.

Good benefits, good amount of time off

No work life balance at all. Horrible company, no wonder there is so much turnover. Upper management completely clueless on what to do and blame employees for not being able to meet ridiculous targets with no tools or resources to work with.
