Pros

Good pay, weekly. Nice customers and friendly co-workers at first. Fun to begin with. 30 minute breaks every 5 hours.

Cons

Your age is put into everything you do, and you are blamed for many issues when someone tells you to do something incorrectly. Pay gets spotty and you aren't paid for all hours. If the water goes out you have to lug water canisters across the store in order to soak the floor the best you can.
