Pros

You get a shift meal

Cons

Have to work off clock, if offered or told about a raise you will not get it, hostile work environment, short staffed every day but still expected to finish on time, written up for mere nothings, hold to the highest standard with greatest expectation yet do not provide the tools, unfair working conditions along with low pay. They enforce rules which are made up as they go. Zero trainings for all employees. Lazy upper management and HR is a joke. They do not want to pay stipend for travel you have to ask for it otherwise u will get nothing. Deduct for benefits but don’t pay premiums. Shave ur time worked to keep uppers happy w labor costs. Fake record keeping. No one police's upper mgmt so they do whatever they so choose which is nothing. They take away PTO hours if your short 1 min or more on hours worked then limit how u can use/take them. I can keep going but it’s a bad job with bad upper management. No 401k match for hourly employees even managers. Greedy company
