Pros

It's a very fast paced company that runs lean. As a result, you will learn a lot. If you have the right attitude, you can truly advance, build our resume, and become extremely marketable if you decide to leave. The environment can be fun, and you will meet some tremendous people here. Also, $3 lunches are unbeatable.

Cons

Since the company runs lean, you find yourself working the jobs of 2-3 people. Also, a lot of employees are entry level. While this can be fun, it is also tough because turnover will be high (no one stays at their first or second job out of college) and younger employees are sometimes thrown into jobs/advance to positions that they are unqualified for. All of this makes for an inefficient environment that can create more work for you. Pay is also below market, so people tend to jump fast.

Pros

Pay was decent, managers were nice, & was scheduled to work every day

Cons

One of the cons was that if you had closing shift during peak season, you weren't allowed to go home until everything was organized (around 1 am)
