Pros

-Lots of down time -Tips -Making drinks can be fun -Shift drinks and 1/2# of free coffee -Tasks aren't difficult

Cons

As with most retail jobs your experience will depend a lot on your store manager. Other cons include the fact that the job can be incredibly boring. Calling in sick is a much bigger deal than say at a clothing store. Favoritism is common and people talk behind each other's backs a lot. There are also no scheduled breaks.

Pros

The customers are amazing and the job itself is very easy and doesn’t demand much work.

Cons

I was terminated after “complaining” about management and was treated unfairly until I had to leave. They were not trying to keep me in the company after I started complaining that I haven’t gotten raise in 2 years.
