Pros

Excellent discount, great products, tons of opportunities to win/earn free products, flexible work schedule, opportunity for growth, great support from Corporate HR. I wouldn't suggest devoting 40 hours a week to a retail position, but definitely at the corporate level.

Cons

Little to no room for creativity for Resident Chefs & Chef Instructors. Menus for Cooking Classes are 100% determined by Corporate with menus that have not been tested by anyone prior to being sent out. Poor management in retail locations.
