Pros

When I started the job, some of the staff were welcoming and helpful.

Cons

When I was hired it ws a welcoming environment. However, once there was new management I got let off without any communication or reason why, I messaged the new manager and existing co manager but got ignored and never gave me a reason why. Completely unprofessional and get treated poorly. When I did work with the co manager I was constantly dismissed and made to feel like I was doing everything wrong.
