Pros

The Tea is amazing so was the 40% off discount! The store has a calm zen vibe. All you can drink tea while you work.

Cons

Very Micro management. As a GM your more of a glorified sales associate. Very pushy sales process, with a robotic script. Area Manager lacks any sort of communication, leadership and guidance. Company has a great training program...however I was with the compamy a mere 3 months & had yet to attend the two weeks training in Atlanta. High turnover for all staff members including area managers. The pay was on the low end and the health benefits were expensive.
