Pros

Most co workers were easy to get along with. Discount Free drinks ( not latte or smoothie related)

Cons

Management only got along with a few Toxic work culture Got injured and management would laugh Bullied by management No raise Made $13.75 New hires made $15 If I was “late” they would harass me on the phone when I was in the building. But it’s “okay” that someone is an hour late and I had to stay past my time. I can literally go on

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.
