Pros

Worked in the Starbucks owned by Ingles. So the Starbucks was inside the store, making stock (milk and cream) easy to maintain.

Cons

Not as many benefits at the franchise Starbucks owned by Ingles than at a corporate Starbucks. Such as the pay is less, must follow Ingles rules, and other small things.
