Pros

Enjoyed getting to know my coworkers, it was easy once everything got better translated from online to in person training. Taught me an updated version of a P.O.S. system and cash handling.

Cons

Lack of adequate staffing, poor communication skills by management, improper training, and management refusal to take advice and criticism from employees.
