Do you go to school and work a job?

Pros

Free food and easy work.

Cons

If you go to school as well as work a job this is not the place for you. They advertise about tuition reimbursement but have no sympathy is you call in late due to school, they will just tell you not to show up. While they are flexible with hours my schedule was incorrect 90% of the time. They do not advise employees of last minute schedule changes, and if you don't show up because of that they will not call you to see if you are still coming in. Very little training and you are blamed if you do something minorly wrong even with little to no training on it.
