Pros

Not really any except just needs a 5 word minimum

Cons

Rotating schedule, high employee turnover rate, low rate of pay, got fired for calling off 2 days (after working there for over a year) because my sister (25yrs old) was dying in the hospital on life support, but upper management didn’t care they said “we can’t have managers who don’t show up for their shifts”, 8-12 hour shifts with no lunch break (or any break whatsoever),
