Pros

Good atmosphere within the stores, always very clean and beautifully arranged. They make a point of hiring young, upbeat, friendly people, so your coworkers are very chill. Really enjoyed my first couple months working here.

Cons

Requires a positive attitude at all times, and has no problem asking you to be fake in order to achieve that. Almost "culty" in that regard. Management can be incompetent (sometimes a little shady even) with scheduling with no repercussion. Long shifts spent on your feet. Biggest complaint is with the pay however. Nugget will demand you to bend over backwards for the good of the company, but will pay you just a little bit over minimum wage to do so. Raises are few and far between, and even when they do come along they will be insignificant. If you work in coffee bar, don't expect tips. Management will literally make you refuse them.
