Pros

Free doughnuts!!! Laid back atmosphere. Cool co-workers. Easy. Decent first job for high school kids.

Cons

Low pay. $8.00 an hour as up front worker/ $8.50 an hour as doughnut maker. Management was moody. Could be stressful when extremely busy. Doughnut makers worked harder than up front workers, but were not compensated much more for it. No breaks for doughnut makers.
