Pros

No late night working, or not too bad of customers. People who work with are pretty nice company to have around.

Cons

Too much work and too much expectations, but they never invest to provide tools or labor to achieve them. Too stressful and salary managers work more than 50 hours a week.

Pros

Employee discount 50% experience on how to bake certain things, or how to prepare certain drinks. staff members are pretty cool.

Cons

Little pay. unorganization (management) very unstable, things are constantly changing. Not flexible with taking time off. They will tell you to come in, and send u home an hour or two after if its not "busy" enough, regardless if you were scheduled.
