Pros

The 40% employee discount. Talking to and helping the customers.

Cons

Management was inconsistent with work hours. Once it became know that there was a desire to move from a sales position to a culinary one, the hours all but disappeared (mostly 4 per week). Manager wasn't skilled in dealing with employee mistakes appropriately - was mean and disrespectful.
