Pros

free shift drink not a tough business to manage

Cons

no 401k match low pay for what the store generates in profit and compared to other similar companies no room to move up store managers are moved around frequently - store manager for 4 years in 9 different stores! They want to overstaff the stores, now no one in my store can get more than 10-15 hours because of this, DMs are moved around as frequently as store managers Hard to believe that a company that goes through this much milk doesn't recycle! my store throws away over empty 150 milk jugs each week!!!!

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.
