Pros

We're like a BIG family. A cohesive unit that makes everything work. Everybody from the top down to your part timers works very well together. Upper management is very supportive and will listen to whatever you have to say. They pretty much have an open door policy for everybody on staff. Would highly recommend this company as a great place to work.

Cons

The only one that I can think of is, there is no set schedule. One day you might work an 11-7 shift and the next day you work a 5am - 1 pm shift. I call it, yo-yo scheduling. But it's really no big deal.

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.
