Pros

Easy job, with lax management

Cons

Low wage, with inconsistent hours, and no benefits, raises are only 50 cents and merit based, which means even if you work hard you wont see much of an increase in pay.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
