Pros

None that justify working here.

Cons

The shop gets so hot in the summer and so cold in the winter because they are too cheap to turn on heat/AC, which they lie about and tell you that the building doesn’t have just so they can save a dime. The management and owner gaslight you and downright ignore you if you try to be honest about how horrible the work environment is because they think that they aren’t the problem, the problem is people don’t want to work for minimum wage during a pandemic. They don’t care about mask policies and make you feel terrible for needing to take time off for mental health reasons. They make you clean every single inch of the place until it’s spotless because it’s cheaper than hiring a cleaning company, because they’d rather exhaust you and exploit you if you’re already there.

Pros

Free meal on shift, tips, no cash handling (card only)

Cons

Poor management. Schedule often posted with as little as 1-2 days advance. Seem unable to keep good employees for more than a year. Inflexible with scheduling needs. Retaliatory behavior toward individuals asking for a pay raise.

Pros

Free meal, early hours if you're a morning person, okay pay if you get enough hours. Some coworkers are really cool!

Cons

Management feels very green and unwavering. I was thrown into the fire with minimal training or support, and then was fired after a month, with no coaching or warnings about my performance. The manager and I rarely spoke before I got a termination email, so I thought any awkwardness was just growing pains and not reason for termination.
