A good job

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly co-workers, they work with your schedule if you have restrictions, fantastic medical benefits at a great price, good pension plan. There's a lot of room to move up with this company if you're willing to put in the effort and not slack like everyone else.

Cons

You have to murder someone to have even a bit of a chance at full-time, a lot of the management can't seem to figure out how to do their jobs, many people aren't properly punished for the mistakes that they make, and there are too many attempts (some successful) at firing people who don't deserve to be fired.

Pros

They do have insurance as long as they let you work the hours to keep it. You get a pretty good workout Helps improve people skills

Cons

Depends on the manager but they are always changing so you really can't get used to a certain way things are ran. Often times they will not give you enough hours to keep your insurance or they will make you work long stretches like 10+ days in a row. The managers most often will not back you up and allow customers to basically abuse you. Very, very emotionally and physically draining job. Like I said, great motivation to get through school.
