Pros

The benefits and the pay is great. The pay is great again. The pay is great again. The benefits are also great again.

Cons

-Not being heard - Accountability is non existent with this company - will drop hours in order to get employees to quit - harassment - terrible management, never seen worse - higher ups enable sketchy behavior in order to keep poisoned environment - turnout getting higher - problems aren't solved, you are either fired or you leave - favoritism is rampant! - petty behavior - managers change behavior in the presence of higher up managers - if you think you have a friend, you dont - everything except pay and benefits - management will be nicer during the interview just to get you to work

Pros

Friendly fellow crew and management as well as very friendly customer base.

Cons

Cross training is good but discourages longterm management of a given section, requiring handing section to a newer employee and taking charge of a different section.

Pros

This company really does care about its employees. There's a reason why people make a career out of their time here. It is the most fun job I've ever had. They hire amazing, hardworking people with great personalities. Management is always willing to help. Theres fun tastings of new products all the time. Customers are generally always in a good mood. The job is physically demanding, but I am in the best shape of my life lol. They schedule you to change what you're doing every hour, so the 8-hour day goes by fast.

Cons

They can definitely play favorites. The same people get the shifts that they want, and when you first start, you can get stuck closing for quite some time.
