Pros

The work wasn't very stressful, time off was always approved, pay was okay.

Cons

Managers were disorganized, availability and time off were frequently disrespected (but if you could prove you weren't in the wrong, usually it did work out in your favor). Systems were ancient and desperately need an upgrade. While the dress code was reasonable, the aprons are heavy and painful to wear for long periods.
