Pros

Decent pay, good work environment. Decent hours. Generally good customers as well. Knew many of the other employees as well so it was enjoyable.

Cons

Management was terrible. Schedules were very thrown together with no regard for employees. Often was scheduled for less than 10 hours a week. Training was subpar. Asked for vacation time and during my vacation management changed and I came back to find out I no longer had a job. The new manager threw out the vacation log book and thought I had just walked out.

Pros

Majority of co-workers and love seeing my regulars.

Cons

Hard to become full time and usually get screwed out of a better position by someone with less experience or lazy. If something goes wrong, managers don't seem to care at all and even make it obvious that they're trying to ignore your complaints, but refuse to ignore a customer.
