The pay is good. You are able to eat food. The co-workers are nice. They have events for all the pandas that you can go on like once year.

Cons

i felt like I was not trained very well from the beginning. Still learning things that I should have been told at the beginning of when I started working. Dont really hear that I have done a good job. the hours are long days usually but some are short.
