Pros

I love coffee but I had a very bad experience with one of the establishments. I suppose if you love coffee and customer service you might be a good fit.

Cons

I worked for a PJ's for 2 days. On the first day, the owner/manager seemed nice and appreciative that I was on time (actually early) for my 6am shift. At the end, however, I asked if she would mind if I took off a few days for an upcoming festival that I worked at the year before. I explained to her that since I was almost full-time at the coffee shop, I would only take off if she ok'd it,--just wanted to check. She not only denied my request, but was appalled that I would dare to even ask for a few days off after just starting a new job. The next day she was very rude, and sent me home early, after about 4 hours, telling me that I should wait to hear from her before coming back. A former boyfriend also worked at a different PJs and found out that the manager had been shaving off time from all of her employees. Hopefully things have improved over the last few years!
