Pros

-there are plenty of hours. even at minimum wage i was making ~2k/month.

Cons

-understaffed, everyone is overworked, underpaid, with zero benefits (no percentages off and we aren't even allowed to use the company standard 3 dollar off coupons). -boss plays favorites, and if you aren't a favorite prepare yourself for condescending tone and general pettiness (like forcing you to use a register you don't like). If you are a favorite you will be piled on with more and more responsibilities. -workplace friendships are discouraged. even when well staffed we aren't allowed to take breaks at the same time. -because of the above everyone is miserable and it makes for a terrible working environment but nothing is being done to reach out to employees whatsoever. I have never felt so undervalued and overworked at the same time. -if we worked at the pace that the owner does then our hours would get cut.
