Pros

Good starting pay for high school job, free meals on breaks, fun environment. Very easy to take off, this might depend on the particular store. Very easy to set one's availability.

Cons

Store closing at 10:30 during the week doesn't go hand-in-hand with school.

Pros

Free food (it's good unless you tried to eat it 2 meals a day, 5 days a week for 5 years) Great Giving culture/spirit (I once donated $500 a year per supervisor request) Diversity amount employees Panda Ways: promoting Healthy lifestyle, Continue Learning, Developing Others and Acknowledging Others

Cons

-Stressful/unbalanced work life- I was told by my supervisor that my loyalty caused me to "work hard but not smart", therefore it's my own fault and my own responsibility to make it work -Unreasonable- Being held accountable for my career advancement based on my personal life: "The way you do anything is the way you do everything", the failure of my personal life would mean I won't do well professionally either. -Unappreciated/unfair- different treatment per competency the company is looking for at the time, and I was told to take English class in front of others in manager meeting several times
