Pros

Discounts and a free meal and drink per shift. Family like environment

Cons

Poor management: They will manipulate you about your work hours just so they can save a buck for the higher ups. They'll ask you to leave early, and check this out...When you come in for your shift and clock-in, they will sometimes tell you to leave for two to three hours then ask for you to come back in for work later. You may have driven long distance to come but they don't care. They don't unfortunately have the professionalism and courtesy to ask you two hours before the start of your job to come in later. The staff is mostly awesome though, I will miss them but a very few workers I know had become animalistic in their pursuit for success; overlooking care for their fellow human. At the end of your life, people will not remember you for your accomplishments, they will remember you for how you made them feel. The material world will fade but LOVE will remain. Go out to your local cemetery, and look at the old 100 year old gravestones: do you even know those people and the lives they once led?

Pros

-your coworkers are some of the best you’ll ever meet. -you’ll get some decent barista experience, which can be useful -generally good environment between staff -not micromanaged

Cons

-very little management involvement. There’s hardly any management in NYC, which is a double edged sword. While it means you’re not micromanaged, it also means that management is basically asking servers who are paid minimum wage to do tasks like ordering goods for the restaurant, solely be responsible for problem customers, be at the forefront of unsafe situations, act as the liaison between front of house and back of house, and many other things. -on the same note as the last point, if there is a problem employee, it likely won’t be fixed until months later, as management is rarely around. -long hours; often subject to change last minute as well and asked to come in early or stay late often, -employees of the restaurant are often overworked. Feel disregarded by management often and it really brings down morale.
