Pros

Store has flexible scheduling, good for students and people with commitments besides job. Pleasant co-workers and management. Get free/discounted drinks, food, bulk coffee and merchandise.

Cons

Pay could be better and there a number of quality of life changes that would make things easier. Working with customers and people isn't for everyone.
