Pros

Free drinks, discount, and occasional free stuff

Cons

The managers are not properly trained to run a store. Everything is based on sales, from the amount of hours you get, to time on tea wall during zoning, to opportunities to advance within company. The pay sucks also. High turnover rate. The sales process is ridiculous, the employees are supposed to tell the customers what they want. Basically if you have any ethics, work elsewhere.

Pros

Great work environment, fun staff, great product that is worth selling. You learn a lot about the culture of tea drinking, which can be interesting if you are intrigued by learning new things.

Cons

Starting wages as a sales associate aren't great- minimum wage. Bonus system is hardly incentive to work exceedingly hard to make personal sales goals. It's sometimes very difficult, depending on your store, to convince Americans that switching from coffee and soda to tea is a good idea, especially when the product is so much more expensive. You need a lot of dedication and belief in your product.
