Pros

If you love to cook it's great to be around other employees of like mind to share knowledge and ideas. 40% off on a lot of great products is also a plus.

Cons

The biggest downside is having corporate care ONLY about the mighty dollar and not the employees that are making those dollars for them! Management also tends to treat you like a grade schooler with no sense whatsoever. Be prepared to be pressured to sell, particulary large items, such as one, two and three thousand dollar coffee machines!! If you don't mind working for close to minimum wage, not very many hours, and being treated like a child, then this jobs for you.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
