Pros

Great owners who recognize employees and praise hard work. Very hands-on owners. Holidays off; or at very least minimal hours. They are really amazing at developing their employees with special industry classes and informative meetings.

Cons

Store Management is petty and immature. If you are in the "inner-circle" you are golden; if not beware. Questioning the favouritism and game playing (such as hiding CC slips with big tips on them) and general unfairness is highly discouraged as certain management doesn't like being called out. Double standards for female staff and male staff, definitely in favour of the females, especially the ones friendly with management. Hard work and going above and beyond may be recognized by the owners, but management only abuses it. Refuse to put people in positions they are better suited for because lack of "popularity" skill and knowledge are completely disregarded.
