Pros

there isn't much to do any you can make decent money sitting on your butt in a go nowhere position. when I left they didn't have a manager, so I was sleeping on the floor over night for a decent pay check.

Cons

The management doesn't care about the employees. Find your own coverage, do not expect to move time slots on shifts, and don't expect to get much of a pay raise or recognition. If an employee quits, all the other employees are expected to pick up the overtime, no matter when the shift is. Not picking up shifts will lead your other employees to shun you. working hard really gets you nowhere and there isn't really any room for advancement. One time they fired a guy because performing under par (as was everyone else) and he was an easy target.
