Pros

Only "pro" I can think of is free food, ONLY if you work a 6 hour shift or more. Which hardly happens.

Cons

Terrible scheduling- told them I had a commitment at 8:30 they would schedule me until 8 but wouldn't let me leave until there were no customers, everything was stocked, and everything was perfect. The pressure to maintain the "culture" and keep the line clean is insane. Employees I worked with who had been there a long time got fired for not "promoting the culture". AKA, they got fired for no reason. It's incredibly stressful with little breaks. Do NOT recommend.

Pros

Discounts on food and staff are friendly

Cons

Management does not really care. Sits in office and rarely helps. This does depend on the manager which affects the staff. Imagine working at minimum effort is the acceptable norm and a upper manager comes in complaining that things are wrong and does not fit standard
