Pros

Hours were good - 6-2:30

Cons

The company hires you with you thinking they want your input. They don’t. Within two months I stopped trying to give them ideas. Which were good ideas given that I’ve done this roll for years. They finally added smoothies to the menu. Then wouldn’t have the ingredients I needed to make them. Management insinuated I was the reason sales were low. Not the fact that there was FREE COFFEE ON EVERY FLOOR. Finally, the discrimination. I don’t like being referred to in a sexist tone nor talked about while I’m standing right there. As if invisible. I finally left because I had a chair I would occasionally sit on given that I have a disability. Management harassed me and belittled me on this. It was ridiculous.

Pros

You get what you put in. Top employees that show up when scheduled and work get management team that is there for what ever you need. Medical time off, family time to see kids games and extra hours when available to cover unexpected bills.

Cons

Younger team members find ways not to work while on the job. Hospital travel nurses and mis technicians think all Transport staff are the same. They are not very nice. However staff nurses are Awesome!
