Pros

Flexible hours and scheduling; responsibility and growth within company is encouraged; diverse job assignments mean not doing the same thing all day every day; great coworkers, customers, and managers.

Cons

Not very intellectually stimulating or challenging, strict corporate rules and regulations (being on time, breaks, pay, benefits, etc), have to wear a company uniform, low hourly pay w small raises only every six months.

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.
