Pros

Most co workers were easy to get along with. Discount Free drinks ( not latte or smoothie related)

Cons

Management only got along with a few Toxic work culture Got injured and management would laugh Bullied by management No raise Made $13.75 New hires made $15 If I was “late” they would harass me on the phone when I was in the building. But it’s “okay” that someone is an hour late and I had to stay past my time. I can literally go on

Pros

The things you do there is simple.

Cons

The customers and associates are rude, a lot of quid pro quo going on. A lot of harassment. Company does not take care of their associates. Covid could run rampant and they would try to keep the stores open. A lot of associate/manager sexual relationships.
