Pros

Local business with a good opportunity to learn barista skills Closed at 8pm

Cons

Training was extremely minimal and lacking. Owner ran the business like a big corporation and didn't seem to personally care about their employees or their wellbeing. A number of employees had pay issues and some never received promised raises. I was told to make sure that I scrutinize my paychecks and keep track of my pay to ensure I receive everything as promised. There was no room for advancement or management opportunities unless everybody seemed to quit (which is how I was hired on) A guest told the owner he needed to hire "more pretty girls" and he replied in kind by instructing his hiring staff to hire more females. Staff was clearly very unhappy with company but enjoyed the coffee atmosphere (and getting paid on occasion) too much to leave. Overall it was a very unhappy and toxic workplace.
