Pros

The money and bonuses are great

Cons

10+ hour shifts, you are often at work past 2am after getting there at 4pm, the owners will pull your bonus without any warning, you are expected to go to all company events, like picnics and charity events on your days off or you will be passed over for raises and promotions. Promotions and raises are based on being friends with the executive team and not performance. You will often not have 2 days off in a row due to a management shortage. You are not allowed to leave the building during your shift so you have to bring food in, you are not allowed a microwave to heat food up and you cannot store food in the walk in, so you are forced to eat canes every day.

Pros

-Fellow peers are often lovely to be around and helpful. -3 of 10 managers at my store are genuinely nice. -Flexible scheduling. -Our regular customers are very nice. -Pay is decent. -Easy work, even when busy. (Although it can be stressful from time to time.

Cons

-Only 50% off meals for crew. -Favoritism of crew members by management is abundant. -Bad hours, they keep shifts short if you aren't favorited. -They rely on the majority of their crew being teenagers and not knowing their rights. -Crew is often refused breaks when upper-management visits. (They will comp meals if you ask, but if you don't they will try to get away without it.) -Certain managers constantly berate and belittle crew members. -Because the company is growing more corporate and profit focused, it is becoming less focused on doing right by the crew and treating them well. -Everything has become more and more about penny-pushing and overzealous metrics. -The company likes to portray themselves as being crew-focused and wanting to support the little guy, but that is not how they actually conduct themselves in the treatment of their team.
