Pros

401k with annual contribution equal to 10% of your earnings, Bi-Annual Performance Reviews (which result in raises for employees who meet expectations), Insurance (Health, Vision, and Dental for employees who work 30+ hours weekly, assistance available for those who don't). Positive and friendly work environment, and lots of variety (you're usually never running the cash register for more than two hours straight.)

Cons

Hours can be unreliable in the slow season. No overtime allowed for crew members under normal circumstances. Customers are of utmost importance, and keeping them happy can be stressful.

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.
