Pros

co-workers, discount, great if you want very part time & very low pay

Cons

In 30 years of high end retail experience , and I have never worked for a more poorly run company. The obsession with selling $3000 coffee machines over the happiness of their employees, is insulting. Working part time( don't we all) , I was the leading sales person my first year. Then the company changed hands, They would not give me more than 12-16 hours and constantly cut shift , often at the last minute. I took a huge cut in pay to bring my experience in food retail/catering/design merchandizing to what I thought would be a rewarding job. I couldn't have been more wrong. I didn't need to work , I choose to work. There is a very high turn over of co-workers. No one can live in this area , for very very poor hourly pay. Shame . Some really good people had two jobs or more to make ends meet.

Pros

Discount great. Lots of free coffee. Cooking classes. I have worked under two different store managers since the store opened, and the first one was erratic, irrational, and a megalomania who exerted her will on every single issue, but ended up being wrong on most of them. The new store manager can have an occasional moment of anger, but is actually extremely even keeled, fair, and actually seems to care. Be prepared for whoever your store manager or assistant managers are, because they can make a huge difference.

Cons

- lack of hours - last minute changes - lots of work without support
