Pros

Free coffee, free snacks, and a pickleball court

Cons

Company values and creed are just words on a wall. I was unexpectedly terminated within 30 days of starting for "lack of performance and not meeting expectations of leadership". They also "didn't think I would be successful in the role", this is all without having a performance review or conversation letting me know I was not meeting their expectations. While this was their reasoning, it was not true as I was fully performing my job responsibilities as I ramped up to get to know the business. When I asked for specifics, I got the same generic answer that I was not performing. Prepare to get terminated and not know why. For a company who says its employees are family and they want success for everyone, you'll always be just another number.

Pros

The other people at the stand

Cons

8.25 an hour. Slave labor. Expected to go out in inhumane conditions. Expected to love your slaves wages. Expected to do more than can physically be done. Expected to both hold people at the window and talk for extended periods of time while also getting their orders done in a fast food pace. Constantly understaffed, where management would then blame corporate for the hours. Would not let a single person go over 30 hours, as they would need to give people benefits then.
