Pros

+ Kindest people I've ever met, absolutely loved my manager and most coworkers + Great character development opportunities + Learned how to work in a team and to ask for help + Learned to overcome my fear of people

Cons

- Always UNDERSTAFFED because they want to be as efficient as possible - TOO MUCH WORK AND NOT ENOUGH COMPENSATION (you are not allowed to sit down or even just stand, you HAVE TO BE DOING SOMETHING AT ALL TIMES unless it's your break, your supervisors will remind you of this) - REALLY BAD WORK-LIFE BALANCE (you will be so exhausted after a shift that getting classwork done will be hard, they will also not be happy if you take any sick days or have to leave early) - Rotate workers too much, they will SIMPLY OVERWORK/EXPLOIT YOU UNTIL YOU LEAVE
