Pros

- They will honor the basic agreement of exchanging time and labor for currency. - If you are in California, you take lunch no later than your 5th hour during an 8hr shift. - If you are retired, in school, or recently graduated, for so-so pay, you can do pretty much whatever you want, they will work around your schedule, sometimes even last minute.

Cons

High potential for career stagnation. If you are in a salaried position, full advantage will be taken.

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.
