Autonomy. Stimulating and fun. Varying in duties--always changing from hour to hour.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. A chance to learn about interesting foods. One on one training. Really one of the best retail jobs out there. Management really made an effort to train and develop employees. Women didn't seem to advance as quickly within the company. I don't know if this was due to not as many women pursuing advancement, women not being advanced by management, or some combination thereof.

Cons

Despite being one of the best retail jobs out there, it is still retail. This means long hours including weekends and holidays. This might be ok for some, but I needed a more traditional schedule.
