Pros

My co-workers are what make me keep my job, I'd rather take them with me to my next job. Also customers who see me as the only one in the cafe who realize that I'm being overworked,

Cons

Everything. the management, the organization, managers themselves as well. They need us to help them, but they never expect us to have the help of theirs, EVER. Then there are the LINES that managers expect us to mow us through, but the registers are complete crap and get frozen and if I can rant more, I would. Too many pros than cons.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
