Pros

Sometimes a free meal, free coffee!

Cons

You must know how to make barista style coffee, or either don't apply for the job, or be prepared to buy you're own milk and practise under pressure! Also study the menu before you apply so you dont have to "waste their time" learning it whilst you're there. There is no protection from covid in this small kitchen. They get frustrated if you get in their way. After just 8 hours of training they were huffy and frustrated when I didnt know how to do things, the young girl training me would snap at me and this led to my quitting after a short amount of time. I felt uncomfortable the whole day as they spoke in a different language to each other, then would tell me I couldn't do my job. Which made me anxious and mess up more. I've worked in a lot of kitchens but this was up there with the worst in terms of feeling like being in a team and getting on with people like a true people person wants to do. Low pay. 10 eur ph

Pros

The general manger is very nice and caring about the marketing and office employees. He wants to hear your ideas and for you to be creative. I was able to start the influencer program with this company that is still running and help come up with marketing campaigns. The GM consulted me about many aspects of the business which made me feel involved and inspired. He also is reasonable and understanding about your personal life and flexible to make the hours work for you

Cons

There can sometimes be a lot of driving to different store locations and you do not get paid for gas or time driving. When I created the influencer program I would drive to different stores on weekends or days off to meet with new influencers for 10-15 mins which was an important job to be done, but I was ONLY get paid for those 10-15 min. The pay structure didn't always work for the type of job it was. Also my role kept building and building as time went on and it got a bit overwhelming.
