      Pros

      I took a job there right out of college in 2009 when jobs were non-existent. It was not ideal, but I got some supervisory experience which got me into an entry-level office position in about a year.

      Cons

      Highly authoritarian and top-down. They don't seem to have evolved their thinking since the 1980s.

      Pros

      Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

      Cons

      Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
