Pros

Fun environment if you like cooking and specialty retail.

Cons

There's a disconnect between corporate and stores. A great deal of the company would benefit from being restructured to better support its staff. I haven't experienced SLT appreciate its staff well. I've been asked to take on more responsibility, but denied compensation when asked for it. Yet they'll stay understaffed, or no one will be willing to work for low pay.
