Pros

My starting salary was good for the job, and my co-workers (minus the management) were generally friendly.

Cons

Overworked, I would work 14 hour shifts and the management would refuse to give me breaks, I was promised a raise that I never received, I was verbally abused by both my GM and my AM, even when I requested a days off anywhere between 2 weeks and 2 months in advance I hardly ever received them, resulting in constantly having to reschedule doctors appts, etc. I would even explain why I needed the days off and would still not receive them although other employees would get those days off.They frequently cut me early due to labor, but yet nearly always tried to call me on my days off. My GM was known for skimming money off peoples final checks, and even when presented with evidence he would not change the amount they would receive. I would be asked to take out mass amounts of trash by myself every morning (it would be overflowing out of the bin, probably 200+lbs) that my AM opened but I myself weight 115lbs and am not even tall enough to open the containers with out climbing onto them.
