Pros

Free food. Benefits. Donuts for employee appreciation.

Cons

Where do I begin. This company will refuse to help you in any way shape or form. They will continue to push serious issues needing to be fixed until someone gets hurt. Such as a frier that had a leak and despite having gotten the new fryer two months before an employee slipped and injured their back. They will cut your hours out of no where with no warning. You can show up but because you worked too much overtime they will send you home after an hour worked. No real raises ever happen. Even if you are putting in your best effort and have helped the company grow they won't reward you willingly. And hoping to be paid correctly probably won't happen. Especially considering that I had two paychecks unpaid as well as sick days. This is something to always take to a Labor Board don't worry if this company fires you after you can sue them for this. Trust me they are not worth it at all. The donuts we got were about to expire Krispy cremes from Walmart. So yeah they will never care.
