Pros

Busy, very fast paced environment , you get to meet great customers. It used to be a great place to advance and grow.

Cons

Not given nearly enough labor to run a business. Too many things that your bonus is based on that are out of your control. Can't take care of guests when you are running a cash register for half of your day and trying to complete your management duties the other half. Long hours and little appreciation from supervisors. Benefits are mediocre at best.

Pros

I really can't think of any pros. This started as a great place to work. Then something changed around December. All management was changed and new GM came in promising updating the store, equipment, etc. When shown proof of the dirt in the showers, lounge, kitchen/deli area he became defensive.

Cons

The pay is below average for the area. Repairs to equipment was never done. Deep clean of food areas never happened. Cross contamination of potential allergens . (Gluten, fish, nuts) No food notices of allergens. Keeping foods past their expired time. Electrical room and boiler in the same area. Employees being instructed to work on equipment that requires a license. (i.e. draining the freon) Supervisors damaged out product and walking out the back door with them. Management bring their personal problems to work and arguing with someone on the phone. Inappropriate conduct with management and employees. The manager fires you because you were sick in the E.R. They fight you on unemployment. (Really, you should be better than this)
