Pros

i saw a lot of former classmates, from high school and college. i like the manditory on-line training sessions, i did not get a chance to complete some of the manager test. although, i think that every staff member, should know what the manager knows.

Cons

promotions are given to who the upper-level people like. the work was hard and end-of-day routine was fast pace also. what i mean thet 100 per cent recovery was expected to be done every evening. However, a person cannot stay past a certain hour to do a good job. recovery is an area where it is he said she said. if the morning person is in a good mood then the recovery is good, if the person is ina bad mood then no matter what has been done recovery is bad. recovery is a area, that they can legally fire-you if they don't like you anyway. they promoted a person to manager that is not qualified. gossip says that they have their former employees followed

Pros

It was OK, a lot of hard work for a low wage. Bonuses are not to bad, either are the benefits.

Cons

Hours, long days some times six days a week. The pay is salary so no overtime, when you add up the hours pay is low.

Pros

its a paycheck each week nothing more and nothing less

Cons

cooperate could care less,they work you like a dog and appreciate nothing. They allow rules to be repeatly broken. Favortism is unbelievable its not how hard you work or how long you been there its who you know. The Dms are terrible and turns a blind eye to so much its not even funny. I would not be working here if I had any other job.
