Pros

Management was easy to work with and the hours were flexible. They gave me a lot of free food. New breakfast menu was exciting at the time. The work was easy, it just got really busy sometimes. Get to learn how to do just about everything in the store.

Cons

Once I was in the freezer when it was really full. I was collecting supplies and the boxes started shaking. I thought they were going to fall on me. My life flashed before my eyes. Front counter can be fun or boring depends on the day and what type of person you are. But cleaning the whole lobby before you leave kinda sucks.
