Pros

The only pro is that you get one free meal during work days.

Cons

It's like working with a bunch of high schoolers, even though most of these people are no longer in high school and a few hve been here a good twenty years. The management is awful. It seems as though they just hire people off the streets.All they do is stand around gossiping. I hve been yelled at by customers because the managment was to busy gossiping in the back to come up front for a promo order, which you can't do by yourself. I've have been forced to work a rush a few time by myself, including taking the orders,making the coffee/oatmeal, serving the orders off and making drinks and then told off for not doing a good enough job. They are chock full lies and never do what they say they are going to do. The only reason I stay is because I have bills to pay.

Pros

You could recieve free meals during and right after your shift,as well as free drinks, ok work life balance for part time,

Cons

Working environment was highly unprofessional and toxic at the time, workers would call customers the r slur behind their back as well as using the r slur at every given opportunity,I would work around 7 or 6 hours and would sometimes go weeks of shifts without getting any kind of break . The only sort of break you get is from using the restroom. Sometimes people would not communicate on schedules. I had a day unavailable because I was attending community college at the time,they called me right as I was headed into class and I assumed it was spam as I didnt recognize the number ,the next day they got upset with me for no showing,when I had been open about what times I was available and unavailable since the interview and management knew. Everyone always in a bad mood,customers and staff. Was not trained to do certain things and then would have management upset with me for it. Draining experience, also unfriendly to autistic people.
