Pros

You can get free food.

Cons

You asking questions is considered as excuses, they will tell you in your face that they will only direct you once which I think is too harsh for human brains, I worked for three days and was terminated without explanation and I show up on time , don’t do drugs. If you have better answers don’t even try to talk, you might seem as lazy. And you would have to buy shoes. Belt, pants and getting terminated makes all that a BS. My first job and I have a bad mark on my history. If you are looking for a job, not just my experience, Everyone says it’s
