Pros

Staff work hard to keep morale up which is fading fast.

Cons

Training has been drastically cut in this market, which was not a company wide direction. This had a negative impact on new hires as they aren't prepared for their roles and current staff stepping in a fill the gaps the training would have covered. This coupled with reduced payroll is a disaster. Long lines, unhappy customers, and unhappy staff.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
