Pros

They are always hiring... Strong chance to work with the espresso machine because of high turnover

Cons

High turnover because the bosses are horrible people to deal with. All but one of the shift managers quit within a few months of opening date Owner smokes cigarettes and makes food Lady Mom boss dropped mushrooms and put it back in the fridge (WE DONT WASH THE PREWASHED VEGGIES!!!) Both bosses tells us to reuse gloves for food and they both dont wash their hands often before touching food They watch you from security and yell at you for everything Owner gets mad at you for mistakes but they make more mistakes Bad vibes all the time because they're super weird owners, atmosphere sucks Boss is one of those people who talk badly of other employees to other employees ALL. THE. TIME! Lacks professionalism

Pros

I worked at a franchise that was just starting, it wasn't too busy. The manager wanted you to work constantly and have something to do during your time, doing tasks like washing dishes or cleaning up or organizing. He gave us free drinks during our shift and a discount on food that was served there if we made it ourselves. We were paid minimum wage and divided the earnings between the coworkers in the tip jar. It was a nice environment and the staff was chill. You get along with the manager well. He can be friendly but also bossy when needed.

Cons

Manager was a bit chaotic and unorganized since it was just starting and he wasn't too sure about what inventory to buy. He also gave advice to workers that changed constantly, so you have to keep up with the changes.
