Pros

Free food and drink every shift, can’t go wrong with that. Coworkers are lovely, which is good because you’re stuck with them for hours on end.

Cons

Not always able to leave for the restroom or grab a drink when needed. Management was shocking and very childish, constantly bickering at coworkers in the prep room and causing immense drama.
