Pros

Can be a fun place to work. Good work environment. Great benifits like free coffee... all you can drink. lol

Cons

FAST paced environment. High stress at times to meet sales goals, uphold cleanliness and customer service standards while always working with a minimal staff. Managers only have about 10 hours a week to do all administrative chores. Which is at least 5 hours short of what they should have to effectively and efficiently manage a 20 employee, million dollar business.

Pros

Okay for what it is. If you get good managers and shift supervisors, it'll be fine. Some customers are cool to chat with. I've gotten a few dates from working there. Free drinks while on the job. Decent pay. They work around your schedule most of the time.

Cons

Orders from management can be confusing and/or contradictory. Do you do what manager A or manager B wants? You can't do both, and the other one will get mad. Some supervisors are really bad and give you long lists of impossible tasks to complete in impossible amounts of time and yell at you when you inevitably fail. Prepare to get on your knees and scrub floor mats and toilet bowls. We're janitors and baristas.
