Pros

Most of the people were great to work with. Benefits for those people that got them seemed very good. Pay started off at an okay rate.

Cons

There was a "hierarchy" of the departments and food service was of course at the bottom. The managers in the food service department didn't appear to care at all about their workers, they only cared about how quickly you could serve the customers, even though it was the customers taking too long to decide their food. Working part time, the managers would schedule you JUST under full time hours, so they get the work of full time without having to give workers the benefits.
