      Pros

      Decent benefits and employee perks

      Cons

      Too much micromanaging, expect managers to be “leaders” and not workers, yet expect managers to keep labor so low that have to work as a team member in a position all shift, yet still expect you as a manager to be a manager.

      Pros

      Free coffee!!! Networking with customers and that’s how I found a better job opportunity.

      Cons

      Stressful and toxic environment due to drama, no breaks, pay isn’t the best, and hard to get days off/switch shifts with people.

      I initially deleted my review because I thought it was too harsh, then I had more to add!

      Pros

      You get free coffee and the people are actually nice. That's literally it. This is a place to work short-term if you need to improve your customer service skills and you like coffee, and then get out of as fast as your resume can carry you.

      Cons

      * I get to keep track of three different websites for hours, training, etc. Some of these have content that does not work on store computers so I do them at home for free. * My managers frequently don't know what's going on, whether it's about new health codes or my pay. * Speaking of my pay. I'm getting .20 less than was agreed upon when I was hired, and still thinking of what to do about this. * Also speaking of my pay, my first manager told me the wrong date for payday, so I spent weeks thinking my pay was late. * Right now, I'm doing unpaid training. * Everything actually sucks, down to the register software which is obtuse. Our dishes are nice I guess, which is great for our customers. * Starbucks treated me better and paid me more.
