Pros

Free food, coffee and discounts. Good bagels, though they can be a bit pricey.

Cons

High turnover, everyone who's any good or has any sense leaves almost immediately. The owner is out of touch with her employees, has a tendency to micromanage, and has retaliated against employees who speak out or ask for salary increases based on performance.

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.
