      Pros

      Most of the crew is great and even a occasional manager but senior management all are afraid of their regionals and make knee jerk decisions that are harmful and down right stupid.

      Cons

      Cut retirement, cut bonus's, cut pay raises terrible hours no work life balance and lost all core values

      When I started, I really liked this company, but now it feel like a completely different place.

      Pros

      I like that reviews occur every six months. I like that you are rotated around the store every couple of hours, so that you do not get bored. I like that there are weekly tastings of the store products.

      Cons

      I feel that switching managers around so much leaves the store disjointed. I feel that the standards to become a manager are slipping. I'm worried that the family/neighborhood store atmosphere of the company is disappearing and is slowly becoming more corporate. I feel that the entire store dynamic changes based on who the Captain (store manager) is.
