Pros

Generous discount Mostly great customers Great place to share culinary knowledge and ideas

Cons

Don't ask for time off-you won't get it. Management is rude and abusive. favoritism is rampant. new hires make more than 2yr.+ employees. managers have 3-4 day weekends and ALWAYS have a family crisis that they must take time off to attend to. ASST mgr. has his Iphone permanently implanted and his social life is top priority-don't ask him for help on the sales floor, he is too busy on his phone and will tell you so. Mgr. says everyone must stop complaining about him (asst. mgr.) after he asks how you feel about him. Associating with former manager will get you fired.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
