Pros

I've got to meet some really awesome people through this job, that's about it though. That's seriously the only good thing about this job.

Cons

The management is a joke. I've heard from other's that the boss avoids customers and he yells at employees for whatever. At first we were given adequate hours. Now I'm lucky if I end up on the schedule at all for a day. In the few months I've worked here I have work about 60 hours total. They got upset with many of us for getting a second job but they pick favorites to schedule. I wouldn't be struggling to pay bills if they gave me more than six hours every three to four weeks. When I gave them my other work schedule they decided it was okay to schedule me for the same times as my other job. They continue to try to get people to apply there but can't even give their current employees decent hours at all. It's not a part time job, it's a place that only schedules you when they can't get any of their favorites to work those hours. I find it odd that they can give about 8 people full time but the other 16 of us no hours. Honestly the hours you give your employees are so bad I'm actually surprised I got another five hours after a few weeks. Honestly if you don't need us lay us off, instead of keeping us as employees that you never work. At this point I really don't care if I lose my job here, it's run by a bunch of liars who pick favorites.
