Pros

I was working here when I was in High School and a little into college. Pay was a little above minimum wage but I didn't need a lot back then. Great Managers. Were very flexible with hours. Overall a positive work enviornment.

Cons

On one occasion they needed a replacement for a bookkeeper and the manager told me that they were going to start training me for the job in the following week. A couple of days later I was told the job was given to someone else.
