Pros

Friendly customers always make my day, sincere coworkers are enjoyable. Opportunity for advancement and a real career.

Cons

The full timers seem to get an attitude once they are elevated above the part time team members - as if they have forgotten their part timer history! Some back biting, bad mouthing, and general disrespect shown to co-workers can be a real moral buster.

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.
