Pros

Most of the employees are friendly Management can be friendly Regular customers are friendly and generally care for employees

Cons

Management is a mess Employee complaints are never taken seriously, doesn't matter if you've been a perfect employee for years, they don't listen. Sexual harassment is intentionally overlooked, girls are told that its their own fault for making men think its okay Raises are given to the people who nag the managers for them, not the people who are earning them Hard workers are expected to pick up the slack for others, while others face no repercussions
