Pros

Working with the public, fast paced environment, surrounded by coffee all day, higher starting pay than most retail/food industry jobs

Cons

Employee retention rate is often very low, often more concerned with hiring outside the company for management positions rather than moving employees up, associate concerns are swept under the rug by upper management

Pros

Fantastic health and customer service standards If you have a good management team, everything goes smoothly and even when it doesn't they help you handle it If you negotiate pay before being officially hired, they are willing to negotiate Opportunity for growth Affordable benefits that are actually good

Cons

A LOT is expected from you, and if you don't negotiate for higher pay before being hired, or at the time of promotion, it can feel like you're being underpaid for sure. Just because you are on the same level as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean you will receive the same pay rate
