      Pros

      Great coworkers Relatively nice mates (bosses) Free sampling at tastings and when coworkers buy snacks to share Good about letting you take time off if you warn them way in advance

      Cons

      Hierarchy of crew members Nothing to do if you don't work register No leadership They pretend to care but they don't Care more about customers than employees Can get written up for not acting a specific cheery way Immature leadership, If you ask for something, they help you, and then proceed to make fun of you for needing help with it and tell every other mate so they can laugh at your expense too. Phase you out when they don't want you anymore just to keep you on the payroll No room for advancement

      Pros

      -Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

      Cons

      -Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
