Pros

Working with their management team was satisfactory because the atmosphere was open to questions and allowed me to feel confident in completing my work

Cons

The con to my pro is that sometimes, working as an intern, I had to figure out things on my own, and there were times where I didn't know what to do if management wasn't around.

Pros

The people who work there are generally very fun to work with.. Many work hard for every dollar they make. People who work hard are great to have in the workplace.

Cons

The management can be very difficult at times. Employees who were not students could take any days off they wanted no questions asked. Even though I was considered one of the best employees at the company, it was VERY hard to EVER get a shift off, just because I was a student... I always felt that all the student workers were not considered important...
