CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The Benefits are great!! Co-workers are nice and friendly (some). great location to all transportation

Cons

Hours, No advancement for "certain" departments. Only care about pleasing the guest and not much the employee. The pay is very low for Westchester County oppose to the other two locations in New York because not actually in New York City. The shifts doesnt make sense, and management only seem to care about The Guest and not The Employee
