Pros

There's opportunities to advance, a diverse work environment, it's a fast paced place to work, rarely dull, and they allow flexibility in scheduling.

Cons

The fast paced environment is not for everyone. The healthcare coverage offered is poor and few have a set schedule.

Pros

There are maybe a handful of regulars that come in to my Cafe that make me smile. Other than those few people and the fact that I have a steady paycheck every two weeks is what keeps me there.

Cons

Minimum Wage is only a few cents under what most 2-3 year are making, Genrally you make about 10 cents more. No raise for advancement to trainer. They are a multi-million dollar corperation who won't purchase basic name tages for employee's. No hiring management from with-in.. And many more
