Pros

Great team, free meals, quarter bonus,

Cons

really rushed training didn't get the most of it down in a week, must get permission from area leader to fire, promote, or give raises. Couldn't hold events without permission to attract more guests to increase sales, salary was based on 50 hours but was made to work 65+ hours a week only got Sundays off.
