Pros

No one is really paying attention. This allows you the freedom to make the job your own, but also means you have no real support, no matter what role you're in.

Cons

The owners are way out of touch with current business trends and reality as a whole. They don't pay anyone enough, or develop value in the employees they have. They essentially want to use people for whatever they currently bring to the table, not really help them to learn anything new or give them the tools they need to do the current job, and then spit them back out when that situation becomes untenable to either party.

Pros

Unique workplace covering a variety of fields (coffee, gourmet goods, retail, and craft beer)

Cons

Unrealistic expectations of staff, no raises or reviews, little to no training, and something is always broken/missing

Not bad for barista work in Ithaca

Pros

Decent tips if you work in the cafe or tavern, and one of the better places to learn about espresso on the job – a lot of other places in town (besides Gimme Coffee) don't really take the time to properly train their baristas.

Cons

Ownership likes to micromanage and are dismissive of staff. I saw multiple failed attempts to unionize in the 3 years I worked there but these failed due to successful union busting efforts.
