Pros

-very flexible schedule I was able to work around school and varsity sports - getting time off is very easy because there are a lot of employees - if you want a lot of hours they'll give them to you

Cons

- not a lot of career advancement - pay is very low (i got one 50 cent raise in 2 years)

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
