Pros: benefits, paid every week
Cons: no advancement
A typical day for at work is busy, mostly standing around. My co-workers were very helpful with assisting in duties, never really learned much from management not very hands on. Customer service would have to be the best part of the job for me, meeting new people. The hardest part was I wasn't presented a challenge, everything was routine.

There is no room for growth
Set-Up Attendant (Current Employee), Atlanta, GA – June 13, 2012
Pros: there aren't any!
Cons: no benefits, short breaks or no breaks, no advancement etc.
This could be a better place for employment if there where more opportunities for advancement. The management staff are very inconsiderate in the ESS department. It's almost like you give it your all in hopes of getting some type of recognition, or to receive gradualism only to receive nothing! Could go on an on but I have some job searching to do. – more... . . – less
