      Pros

      Great Hours, Minimum Wage, Friendly Work Environment,

      Cons

      Shorter Hours in the winter, Short Staffed, Minimum Wage for heavy workload, Confusing Managers, No room for advancement unless your upper UPPER management likes you. Would say great for college students but in the Summer/Spring you sign up for 24 hours and they force you 40.
