Best thing
The people
Worst thing
Everything else, sometimes you don't get a break when you work longer than 8 hours, the pay(10$/hr) is absolute trash compared to how hard you have to work. You aren't explained benefits, what perks you get other than a measly 8$ for a "meal" each day.

Best thing
I really love the community and the wonderful management! Things just make sense and it’s a wonderful environment, even when it get stressful.
Worst thing
I am unsure if I am being paid fairly for the work I am doing, though I understand that CFA doesn’t need to compete with other restaurants with pay I guess.
