Pros

-Great discounts on food during shift -Lots of free bread if you close

Cons

-No online shift management-must call every week to find out ONLY when your next shift is, and you must check the physical schedule in the back of the store for a full week's -That one manager was kind of mean

Pros

Youre out of the store a lot, you get to listen to your music/book/podcast a lot, good tips from customers most of the time.

Cons

Driver drama due to order assigning protocols. They replaced most delivery drivers with 3rd party delivery to save money.
