Pros

There weren't any pros. I guess you could consider being left alone for the most part a pro but they also never helped you when you needed them.

Cons

One manager was an alcoholic, one always was on break, and another was just an all around grouch. I was never properly trained, they messed up my paycheck with another person's, and then never scheduled me again. I won't even shop there anymore.
