Pros

Extrememly flexible schedule. At the store I worked at, management was very friendly, willing to work with you/help you develop within the company. Casual environment and very fun coworkers were a plus. Benefits were pretty good, I usually worked 30-35 hours a week and had full med/dental/vision coverage.

Cons

As with all corporate retail type jobs, it's kind of annoying to always have to push selling stuff you really couldn't care less about selling - example: VIA instant coffee. You always have targets to hit with beverage/whole bean coffee sales. Getting promoted can necessitate a lot of brown-nosing to management. And frequently even those who are promoted receive their new position due to people skills as opposed to leadership or competency.

Pros

Great place to work while attending school. Flexible hours and very friendly clientele. Would recommend this job to anyone looking for a great job.

Cons

Some new customers are really surprised at the cost of a cup of joe and believe it's really too expensive for them.
