Pros

Working for corporate, I was given paid leave when I had two separate medical issues within 1 year of working there. Simple, easy to understand job. Positive work environment depending on who your manager is. Able to move up and gain promotions and raises with higher training. Good benefits available, though I didn't use them. Fair pay for a minimum-wage kind of job. The higher-ups seem to care about their employees. One of the head honchos from Texas actually came and visited our store in Washington. My request for above min. wage was respected since I had a lot of work experience and was definitely overqualified for the job.

Cons

I had 4 different managers in within 2 months of working there. There were periods of working there where things were very confusing because of moving around management, and even they had no clue if they would still be your manager the next day, but you just show up and do your job. High turnover rate of fellow employees. Working in corporate, I talked to a lot of non-corporate employees who were not treated fairly and who had very unfair managers of franchised stores.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Steady hours, free drinks, meet an assortment of people, repetitive customers that you get to know and like

Cons

Low pay, bad benefits, and mostly working by yourself unless you're first shift, and then only on weekdays.
