Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay for entry level positions, professional work environment

Cons

You really need to make sure you work at a somewhat busy location, otherwise they'll cut your hours because they just wont need you around. Scheduling can be kind of a joke at times, and you may find yourself going back and forth with management to try to get a concrete schedule down.
