Pros

Coworkers were chill, made the work worth it.

Cons

Policies was quite overarching. For example, I MUST produce a doctor's note if I'm out for longer than three days, even for just a cold.

Pros

Great team members!!!! Never enjoyed work besties so much

Cons

We were advised last week at a staff meeting that one way to get our numbers up was to ring in the next size larger than what the customers order, and hope they don’t notice. Philz has gone way down hill since Jacob and Phil left, but this is beyond! I’m out.

Pros

(sometimes) great coworkers, (sometimes) fun work, no uniform, free drinks

Cons

skeleton shifts during busy busy periods, (some) snakey upper-management who may gaslight you or may throw you under the bus (your managers are not your friends), hours are extremely variable (you need 2 jobs) and your availability will not be respected, very corporate feel to it and quality is decreasing, tips really arent that good (youll make more at an independent shop), training is bare minimum
