Pros

The customers were the only reason I was there.

Cons

Poor communication from management team... does not give proper training for success. if they don't like you then you get terminated and don't give you a reason why? You get hired only part-time and have to pay union dues. the union did nothing for me except take a portion of my minimum wage.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
