Pros

Free coffee, discounted items. The company likes to promote from within so there is potential for advancement if you work your ass off.

Cons

Lots of work. The focus on making it an "experience" and connecting with the customer can be a little annoying at times when you are first learning because you're focused on what you are doing and making conversation can be almost impossible during this time.

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.
