Pros

- flexible scheduling if you are a valued employee - low stress environment - regular weekly routines with clear expectations

Cons

- typical starting wage is minimum wage - opportunities for raises are not very frequent and marginally insignificant when they do come (Several time I've had only 10 cent raises for 6 month periods, even after receiving "outstanding" reviews)

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
