Pros

The managers were always so helpful and willing to work with you. I worked at two different locations. I cashiered on both sides and worked on the line. Jobs fairly easy, minimum clean up.

Cons

The pay is minimum wage or a bit higher.

Pros

I took full advantage of the employee discount. It was well worth it, as my main meal of the day cost at most $4. My store also allowed employees to take home unsold bakery items at the end of the night, so that became my breakfast most days while getting through college.

Cons

Two of my managers worked 40+ hours/ week while pregnant almost up until they were due. This didn't seem fair, and I could tell they were struggling. Management was understaffed in general, so it was not unusual to have interim managers brought in from other locations.
