Pros

Coworkers treat you more like family here than any management. The pay is good for retail.

Cons

They claim to run on a family atmosphere but this was easily the most toxic/stressful work environment I’ve ever set foot in. You work alone running the Starbucks counter almost every shift (days, mids, evenings) This gets very stressful because it gets busy fast. The management barely supports their employees or help they just watch you sink in a stress ship. Lastly, the policies here are strict and the Team Leads favor a lot of employees here on following them. If you are not buddy buddy with them, they treat you horribly or single you out.

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.
