Pros

It's a very fun environment and people are allowed to be themselves while having fun with our customers. The schedules are flexible so that makes it easy to get appointments in or take a weekday off to for yourself.

Cons

The pay compensation hasn't been the best. Last year the blanket increase was 2% and that does not cover cost of living increases. I understand that the companys sales aren't the best at the moment, but there has been some cannibalization. Also, it seems like we are penalized to be in accordance with the amount of hours that we are allowed to have managers and shifts on the floor, even though you are managing costs and bringing more than targeted amount to the bottom line.

Pros

Free coffee in each of the kitchens each day is good which saves money; company recognition on the resume; they subsidize transit options so taking the train or bus is less costly; opportunity to participate in coffee tastings around the company; the corporate headquarters are really stunning and it is fun to have meetings in the common areas.

Cons

Lower pay compared to similar larger companies in the Seattle area; you pay more for benefits than at other companies and they sometimes provide less; stock value has not increase over the last few years I have been there; time off is nominal when you start - and most positions have to wait six months to take time off; opportunities for advancement are non-existent in the workplace today.
