Pros

- Free coffee - Some stores had great teams

Cons

- Poor senior management - Severe staffing issues. - Regular last minute shift changes. Lack of low-level managerial staff meant if another supervisor called in sick, you would have no choice but to stay for the rest of the day, potentially 12+ hours regardless of your availability. - Often expected to do work above pay grade - Little to no care for staff financial security and wellbeing. They once changed how we got paid, which due to tax reasons meant that everyone was severely underpaid, many people taking home a third of their usual paycheck to live on for a month. No support was offered, we were just told to deal with it and move on. Colleagues were forced to borrow money to pay rent and bills.

Pros

Not really any. Very easy job though.

Cons

Their full time is 32 hours. Which means being at a minimum wage 40 hour job makes you 4k more a year. But they expect you to work 5 days at cobra. Making it increasingly difficult to hold a second job.

Pros

- You work yourself to the ground, so there's money there, I suppose. Extra money too when you get asked to somersault between stores across town! - Free coffee on shift. Get in there. They will make you sick eventually because the product quality is nowhere near worth the price. - Other free things the company will try to bribe you with.

Cons

- Sexual harassment. - Racial profiling and scapegoating. - Bullying. - Managers who preach one thing but do not comply to their own rules or standards and will scapegoat you to higher management to save themselves. - Managers will only work open and rarely work overtime. There is a very noticeable 'the higher you are, the less you work' ethic. - Unannounced 'Coffe Chats' in the middle of your shift with senior managers, where you literally get cornered into a room, interrogated, accused, humiliated, put on the spot, threatened, and intimidated to respond until you quit. - Did I mention the SEXUAL HARASSMENT? This is from personal and shared accounts. When harassment was reported to management, no further action was taken, and the resolution was to brush it all under the rug. Neither Management nor HR took reasonable action.
