Pros

Fun coworkers, great regulars (customers).

Cons

Bean sales are all that matter. Literally the only thing that matters to upper managment are bean sales. It's cult like. They send dozens of emails a day asking for alomst hourly updates. No breaks. I honestly don't know how they legally get away with it. Expect a class action lawsuit in the next couple years. You will be expected to work 8 hours without even a 5 minute break.

Pros

Usually nice coworkers, good regulars, tips can be really good if you’re working busy shifts

Cons

Over worked and under paid. General managers are hit or miss and if yours is bad, you’re screwed and they won’t be held accountable. Some coworkers are bullies with no repercussion. Unfair task delegation. Hard to get full time hours unless you’re upper management.
