Business Outlook

Pros

The 401k matching and company stock purchase plans make it possible to save for retirement without much effort. It's also a great place to get experience in customer service and dealing with rapid fire problems.

Cons

The hourly wage is OK at best, especially for the job requirements. It's especially noticeable when moving up the food chain. Making less than a dollar an hour more as a supervisor than as a cashier, especially with all the extra responsibilities and yelling from Corporate, just isn't worth it.
