Pros

- co workers are friendly - good food - most customers are nice - breaks when asked - 50% off items - flexible schedule, especially during school year

Cons

- no benefits unless a manager, or working there for a long time - rarely give a raise (i have one in my 15 months there) - managers and funniest of all, shift supervisors, thinnk they are hot stuff, so they see a line and make food for themselves walk away - not allowed to use discount at other stores - rumor spreading, especially by managers - some managers...take their job way too seriously
