Pros

Great employee discount Positive company good environment if you love food and cooking

Cons

Doesn't do much to encourage sales associates to stay - despite the effort associates have to put in to gain product knowledge. Could offer transportation stipends to employees who work at locations with no available free parking, where public transit costs add up quickly (especially on a barely-above-minimum wage hourly pay rate).
