Pros

Many employees enjoy the camaraderie and supportive friendships that develop among coworkers. Met some lovely people. Fast-Paced, Dynamic Environment If you like staying busy and learning to multitask, the work here keeps you on your toes. Chance to Make an Impact Being part of a local business means your work directly contributes to the community and customer experience. B Corp if you have a green thumb.

Cons

Feeling Unsupported by Management It often feels like management isn’t really listening. When employees bring up concerns or ideas, they’re usually ignored or brushed aside. Unsafe Working Conditions Health and safety rules aren’t always followed properly, which makes the workplace feel risky and uncomfortable. Getting Penalised After the Fact Staff sometimes get punished for things they weren’t warned about ahead of time. This creates a stressful environment where people are afraid of making honest mistakes. Being Overworked and Disrespected Because there aren’t enough people scheduled, employees end up doing way too much. On top of that, there’s little protection when customers are rude or disrespectful. Money-Saving Measures Hurt Staff Constant cost-cutting means there’s never enough staff, and the people who are there have to pick up the slack — without extra pay or appreciation. High Turnover Because People Burn Out With so much pressure and little support, many employees leave. This only makes things harder for those who stay. Poor Communication and Lack of Clarity Policies and changes aren’t explained well, so employees are often left confused and unsure about what’s expected.

Pros

Good colleagues to work with. Learned alot. So appreciate that.

Cons

Poor management. Very clicky. Owner motivates by using a carrot and a stick approach. Never delivers promises. Gaslights if questioned.
