Pros

Good options for healthcare, the uniforms aren't bad, there are good coworkers who make it easier to be here.

Cons

Inadequate pay (not adjusted for inflation), low merit raise, readily cuts hours, removed a historic pension fund for tenured workers (TACK). Management is more concerned about sales goals than it is about the well-being of their coworkers. Seeking accommodations for both COVID and disabilities is a needlessly arduous, extensive process. They're forcing arbitration onto its workers as of 2023, making you unable to file a class action lawsuit (during and after employment). Anti-union. Just a company that doesn't act in line with its own values.
