Pros

Pretty good work-life balance, good cafeteria options, free drinks and snacks, supportive teammates across all levels

Cons

Still has legacy code that is not maintained, lots of half-baked solutions that are now coming back to bite, and recent layoffs (multiple rounds).

Pros

Good to get experience as a first job

Cons

Small store so there's only 4 people working at a time. Gets hectic during busy seasons and the manager typically hides in the backroom.
