Pros

the only thing that kept me here for 5+ years is the fact that i got paid every week(tiny pay check) and had fun co workers.

Cons

raises of 10 cents? give. me. a. break. underpaid and way overworked. management trains you to do everything in the store so you can be their bi***, which is supposedly against union policy but they will do whatever they want with their employees until you do something about it, management is never satisfied and is always on edge. union dues suck, What has the union done for me? nothing.

Pros

Excellent, straightforward, comprehensive training program and learning modules to ramp up quickly. Management was reasonable and attentive.

They also make sure people don't stay longer or go without a break after the 5-hour mark; this is a California statute with which I was unfamiliar (I was guilty of working long hours without a lunch break in CT due to

Cons

This likely comes with the territory, but a significant percentage of the target customer demographic are of the needlessly disrespectful, uncivil, infantile, entitled, and rich variety. They contrive conflict and attempt to pin it on the workers, or needlessly change their order after it has been obtained. It is child's play. Company policy says to never call the police unless they are a threat to safety, but they absolutely do disturb the peace and ruin the experience for others. It doesn't help that there is an expensive (not necessarily upscale in terms of class) drinking establishment in the same plaza.
