Pros

none, you feel like a slave at 10.50 an hour. pls you basically run the whole store. they have 5 people in the front and 1 guh in the back (ME) washing cooking cleaning printing labels it's too much work for one person. mistakes can happen often and you get lleled at.

Cons

you wash all the dishes over 100 pieces multiple times, you clean everything, cook all the sides, marinate all the chicken, and take out the trash wash the floors wash the walk in fridge and wash more dishes. and cook again it's non stop dishes and cooking
