Pros

Great for employment right out of college to gain management experience.

Cons

They are revolving door for co-managers they have no interest in retaining employees. It is the worst position in the company. It would be better to be an hourly employee than a Co-Manager. They give free reign to Store Managers to harass, berate, and treat co-managers like pieces of trash. They are used to pick up all slack for the hourly employees and half of the hourly employees make more money than the co-managers. If you like to be used and abused in order to gain management experience this is the place for you.

Pros

Very welcoming environment to new hires. Clear efforts made to improve processes as the new store was finding its footing. Training was clear and wasn't thrown into the deep end before proper teaching. Great environment to work at overall with good pay for the work required. Flexible scheduling and very kind, understanding management!

Cons

Supply issues - needed a better system for ordering new items and restocking basic items. Usually only done by a manager, which meant if a manager wasn't on shift the issue may not be dealt with promptly. Frequently had to improvise with sizes/cups or take basic items off the menu (not just seasonal) due to missing syrups, powders, grounds, etc.

Cons

October-January the workload and store environment is overwhelming due to holidays Slowest time of year in the store is during the summer when its hot and days drag ob forever Lack of communication between dept as well as between store management MOD adds insurmountable tasks onto your already lengthy expected daily task assignments
