Pros

The only good thing (depending on how you look at it) is the amount of hours. I worked in an extension of the store at Starbucks and I had all the hours in the world. And it was neat to work with a close knit team because I did make some good friends.

Cons

They overwork their employees and expect way too much for too little pay. God forbid if you sneeze and a toe goes out of line and you'll find yourself getting a 'stern talking to' from management. They are unsympathetic to emergencies and are quick to fire first and ask questions later. Their turn over rate, at least at my store, was unimaginable. It seemed every time I turned around there were new rules and regulations about something.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
