Pros

Nice team environment, lots of training

Cons

You don’t get set days so never know when you will be working and you have to request a day off 6 weeks in advance so if you have an appointment booked less than 6 weeks in advance you won’t be able to take time off work for it, shifts are 10 hours and if busy you will not get a break as there aren’t enough staff to cover, you will only either get a 5am start or 11pm finish, never any mid day hours

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
