      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High pay (for me it was 17 dollars an hour), open communication with management, free food and drinks, great team environment, and high pace situations

      Cons

      Often on your own, lunch rushes can often put you in a backpedal which can be extremely stressful, cleaning is tedious and draining, certain resources such as cleaning gloves can easily break if not careful and take a long time to order a new one,

      Pros

      We would get bonuses but only if the store did well.

      Cons

      They make it as complicated as humanly possible to climb up the ladder. Upper management were mostly Asian, no diversity. Stores were incredibly understaffed.
