Pros

I LOVED working the drive through. You have to have your crap together though or it will be bad. The people working there were generally really nice. The shift drinks ad free coffee each week were great, not to mention the 30% off discount that I probably used too much :) I am a morning person too, so I loved that my 8 hours for the day could be done at 1.

Cons

Late nights, frequent transitions in management. One manager I had was a horrible mess as a barista. We didn't know what to do because we couldn't tell the store manager she wasn't good, but it made everything so slow. She was trying though, so we just let her.

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.
