I worked there for almost 3 years, it’s like being back in middle school, getting talked about behind your back, rumors, everybody dating everybody, drama etc. and all of that topped off with the very stressful work environment is a living hell. I would suggest living under a bridge and begging for money before working here, at least your mental health would be better off. Oh and the “higher ups” get more incompetent and ignore you more the higher you go for support or to report anything. Would rather be homeless.

Pros and Cons
I guess the smell of coffee, that’s about it
Everything listed above ^ it’s a nightmare
