Pros

Treats employees well as far as benefits etc. Always busy, never a dull moment. some good people who work as teams.

Cons

Location. The location breeds nepotism and suffers from locals controlling the upper management positions. No way to advance yourself if you are not somewhat local or a townie. Very incestuous that way. I have seen multiple advancements made to the locals and the extreme yes men ( or women) which makes educated and knowledgeable "outsiders" feel unrewarded for hard work and sacrifice that is brought to the table from seeing the world and bringing that experience to the middle of nowhere. Some extreme bully type managers that get away with it and may be reprimanded but keep their jobs. This is evident in the upper management also where there is at least one person in a place of power known company wide as a bit unhinged and very abusive to employees. With no recourse, as they have held that position for many years. That's scary. And may be the Achilles heel.

Pros

Easy, the supervisors doesn't bother you, weekly pay, maximize your pay with extra overtime

Cons

Talking to ppl 24/7. You'll feel like a news reporter and because most of the customers are older you'll be repeating yourself a lot.
