Great coworkers. Food samples! Fun environment. Ok employee discount. Opportunity to get bonus gifts during the year.

Cons

Pay is not the greatest and the dress code is pretty silly. I’ve worked in corporate jobs with less strict codes.

Pros

Coworkers were mostly fun, relaxed during the smaller classes, learned some culinary things, there was an employee discount for store merchandise

Cons

Boring, poor management, rude customers (sometimes drunk, almost always loud), repetitive work, mopping not a priority (neither was bleaching the sink), breakroom was just a cubby hole people could barely fit in
