      Poor management

      Pros

      Each location is managed by an individual owner, and the quality may be different from the others.

      Cons

      Low pay, no employee benefits. Just think of it as a cafe that has a branding supply system but no unified management. Each store location/owner manages however they want.

      Good First Job

      Pros

      The environment was great. The assistant manager was very nice and the manager was very accommodating with any scheduling conflicts. The owners of the specific store I worked at also came in to help us out when they had time to.

      Cons

      Understaffed :( Sometimes it wasn’t very busy so it was manageable but there were also rushes that were a bit of a struggle to work through. Especially during the closing shift cause there were always very many people who came in the evening to study or grab some coffee for the next morning. Only had two people on shift at a time(might be different now) so it was hard to close up and continue to deal with an evening rush.

      Pros

      Very laid-back, comfortable working environment.

      Employees didn't get to keep tips from the tip jar. This was changed, however, during my last few months on the job.
