Pros

Discounted healthy meals and a visually pleasing workspace.

Cons

-The entire place revolved around appearances, not people. -Cashiers were expected to smile endlessly while being watched and judged every second. -Breaks were short and rushed, offering no real rest. -Expectations were beyond human limits, and any small mistake was treated as a personal failure. -The constant push for perfection drained every but of energy and joy from the team. -What looked refined and peaceful to outsiders was actually built on fatigue, tension, and quiet frustration.

Pros

The team itself was solid, and the store's a genuinely nice place to work day-to-day.

Cons

The compensation is just not aligned with what you're actually doing. You're running a shift, working register, dealing with customers, training people, managing closings - and all of it's on a cashier's wage. I actually did the math once and it came out to about $17/hour when you factor in everything. The store charges premium prices and does well financially, but shift leads don't see any of that reflected in their pay. That gap is unsustainable, and it's exactly why I left.
