Pros

Free samples. Free coffee. Nothing else.

Cons

Do not ever consider working here. It is the equivalent of a sweatshop. The company is crap, they pay you even crappier (8.50/hour). All their products are made in China even their food! Always understaffed for good reason because NO ONE WANTS TO WORK HERE!!!!

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
