Pros

They start you off making well over minimum wage if you have any experience at all. You get free doughnuts and coffee.

Cons

My store manager tends to hire anyone who applies, this has led to us having employees who have no idea what they're doing and end up hindering everyone else. The managers also get flustered at any people coming in, having worked at a very busy store before, it's agitating to have a manager freak out when we have more than a single person in line.

Pros

nice people to work with, and of course, doughnuts

Cons

extremely understaffed and leadership refuses to backfill while increasing expectations of shrinking teams. long-term, this is not sustainable and people will continue to leave. internal data is a mess, no confidence in outputs and requires a ton of manual calculation
