Pros

One free smoothie a shift, which can be such a treat after getting your mental health destroyed for 8 hours.

Cons

While the management can vary from store to store, corporate management has apparently made it their mission to make the lives of minimum wage workers a living hell. With zero understanding from upper level management, it seems that they don't even view their employees as humans but as machines with little to no compensation. Every month, corporate management finds one thing or the other to criticize about stores with absolutely no positive feedback or reinforcement. They often send in secret shoppers who then rat to them about stores being unable to keep up with their impossible standards and offer no support to stores.

Pros

Full time hours, preferred schedule, free smoothie on work days, tax discount

Cons

No room for growth, no yearly pay raises, no benefits for full time workers, no PTO or sick pay for anyone. I was lucky to have asked for a higher wage during interview b/c of my experience or I would have been paid min wage my entire time working there. I had coworkers who have worked there for years and make the same pay as when they started. But the prices still go up every 6 months. Franchise owner doesn't provide insurance benefits for full time employees, though it is labor law. Hires and fires heavily during the busy times of the year. Management is in a bad mood 50% of the time and it shows to staff and customers. They fire ppl without giving write ups and following procedure. Often asking staff about their personal lives and gossiping so everyone knows everybody else's business. They also don't provide sick pay. I never called out and always requested days off at least 2 weeks ahead of time and am very professional. This is the 1st time in my 20 years of working that I have been compelled to write a review(warning). This company may be great on a corporate level but the franchise owner/managent is not interested in the wellbeing of employees.
