Pros

Great discount, coworkers, and products. The work environment is great, and the store management does a great job in guiding the sales associates, but they are limited because often corporate is breathing down their necks.

Cons

Hiring process is very biased. Low pay for sales associates, and especially culinary assistants. Especially the nature of the work
