Pros

I work at one of the company's Starbucks franchise. We're entitled to 30% off our orders, as long as it's for personal use. I.E. you come in with some friends on your day off, you get 30% off the price of your coffee, but your friends have to pay full price. One free coffee a day (which is a bit insulting, when a cup of coffee costs next to nothing to make)

Cons

As a 'full time employee' the most I've ever worked in one week is 30 hours. Full time is generally 35-40 hours so how they can call this a full time position is beyond me. Very low pay - especially considering what other franchises pay their employees for the exact same job. Other franchises pay £1 an hour more - this quickly adds up come payday. Outdated uniform policy (no tattoo's to be on show, only blonde/brown/black hair allowed). Condescending and rude management that have no real skills to be in their position. Expected to be impressed when seeing 'big bosses' arrive in Audi's. If the company can afford Audi's for all members of senior management surely they can pay the people actually making the company money a better hourly rate. I generally feel not very valued at all.

Pros

It's a job if you have nothing else

Cons

For the most expensive gas station somehow they manage to still be the lowest paid - only being offered a $1 raise for a leadership position when I have over 5 years of management experience is disgusting. They only care about getting people to sign up for rewards and will write you up if you don't get people putting in their number - they basically expect you to hold a gun to the guest head and force them to put their number in - district and regional management only care about juicing their bonuses while the rest of us struggle to pay rent every month - brought this up to regional manger over 3 months ago with a "I'll look into it" yeah right buddy..
