Pros

Nice first job if you don't have bills. Flexible schedule. No benefits or raises.

Cons

Few hours, but get called in when you're not scheduled. Managers are nice, but have high standards for you if you are a good employee but don't care about if the others mess up. Take advantage of you if you are a good employee.
