Pros

Better than minimum wage pay, no drug screening, and amazing co-workers, they require you to watch videos online for your training and then you have 3 shifts of training in the store that you're paid for so you don't have to waste too much time as a trainee

Cons

My manager hired me knowing I was in school and had non-negotiable time commitments and even though I printed out my schedule for her she would still schedule me for hours I couldn't work and act irratated when I told her I couldn't do it. She was also very inconsistent in what she expected, some days you could show up 20 minutes late and she wouldn't say anything, but one time I showed up 10 minutes late when she had me close the store the night before and wanted me back 8 hours later to open the store on top of the subway construction going on that week I ended up only being able to sleep for a couple hours and overslept so I was late and she wrote me up anyway.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
