You'll be sold on a dream, but it's truly a nightmare

Pros

Free cookies and Monday Grubhub stipend

Cons

Extreme burnout due to constant communication/demands after hours and on weekends and holidays with very little follow through from management on status of these asks. A complete lack of understanding from the C-Suite including job functions and industry trends, with obsessive micro-managing across the board. There's also a constant, chaotic turnover and firings without proper understanding of these roles, and a lack of communication as to the impact of these decisions. Processes are non-existent from on-boarding and beyond, and you will often not receive clear answers or exceptions of how to improve how your tasks/teams function. A deeply unserious organization that often feels like a vanity project.

High expectations with limited staffing and inconsistent support

Pros

Fast-paced environment that exposes you to many aspects of store operations Hands-on experience with scheduling, payroll, and high-volume service Some strong coworkers at the store level who do their best under difficult conditions

Cons

Chronic understaffing, with managers and shift leads frequently running stores alone Lack of consistent breaks, even during long or physically demanding shifts High manager turnover, leading to shift leads and managers-in-training absorbing responsibilities far beyond their role and compensation Expectations to simultaneously run the front counter, bake product, manage all delivery platforms (DoorDash, Uber Eats, online orders), answer phones, troubleshoot technology issues, and handle customer escalations—often without support Escalated concerns to upper management frequently go unanswered until there is a crisis Compensation is inconsistent and often uncompetitive, with large pay disparities between managers performing similar work A “one-size-fits-all” operational and compensation approach is applied across stores regardless of location, volume, or local demographics Continued focus on opening new locations while existing stores remain under-resourced Ongoing cuts to labor and resources while increased workload is framed as efficiency or growth
