Pros

Decent tips if you work in the cafe or tavern, and one of the better places to learn about espresso on the job – a lot of other places in town (besides Gimme Coffee) don't really take the time to properly train their baristas.

Cons

Ownership likes to micromanage and are dismissive of staff. I saw multiple failed attempts to unionize in the 3 years I worked there but these failed due to successful union busting efforts.

Unique workplace covering a variety of fields (coffee, gourmet goods, retail, and craft beer)

Cons

Unrealistic expectations of staff, no raises or reviews, little to no training, and something is always broken/missing
