Pros

**Their mission in being fully organic within their produce & delivering quality to their guests ** employee discounts - 20% on items & 50% on meals (1 per day) ** culture of learning about the food industry and great onboarding, even the valet clerk knows about various food issues, the importance of organic eating etc

Cons

**Low pay, which is incongruent with their notoriously high prices **short breaks and hard to take advantage of meal perks when the salary is so low **consensus among employees that they often harp on technicalities to fire/take disciplinary action against workers - in their efforts to make sure food/products isn’t being stolen & get people to adhere to strict time/call out procedures

Pros

The team itself was solid, and the store's a genuinely nice place to work day-to-day.

Cons

The compensation is just not aligned with what you're actually doing. You're running a shift, working register, dealing with customers, training people, managing closings - and all of it's on a cashier's wage. I actually did the math once and it came out to about $17/hour when you factor in everything. The store charges premium prices and does well financially, but shift leads don't see any of that reflected in their pay. That gap is unsustainable, and it's exactly why I left.
