Pros

Paid Vacation Sick Time Good Benefits

Cons

Abusive management Negative work environment Gossipy co-workers Punished for using sick time if ever needed Not allowed to take vacation time even though it is available to use Playing favorites Co-workers quit on the spot because of the abuse Write up good workers so the company does not have to pay for raises Food Service Workers run this dish room even though it is not mentioned as a responsibility during interviews Management will not break employees, yet employees still are punished if they do not take breaks Management will not work with the schedules of their co-workers They will mess up your new availability, refuse to fix it, tell you to figure you out, and punish you if you cannot come in one day (college students especially) They work co-workers with 103 degree fevers and will not let them go home or take additional breaks They will take away your hours when they are blowing their sales out of the water Micromanagement and harassment are issues They do not care if you struggle with a chronic condition. They will not accomodate you. They do not follow company values They will have you in the dish room for months at a time and not care if you get hurt This location does not practice sustainable practices I could go on...

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
