Pros

It is a fun environment and most team members and shift supervisors are fun to work with. It is fun to learn about the products and the coffee.

Cons

Management is often under trained and has a high turnover rate. Many good managers end up leaving because corporate doesn't give them enough support. Products change frequently and there is a lot of work you do for little pay. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with work.

Pros

Usually nice coworkers, good regulars, tips can be really good if you’re working busy shifts

Cons

Over worked and under paid. General managers are hit or miss and if yours is bad, you’re screwed and they won’t be held accountable. Some coworkers are bullies with no repercussion. Unfair task delegation. Hard to get full time hours unless you’re upper management.
