Pros

I get to meet new people all of the time. I am free to drive to different Bakery Cafes every night to visit the bakers, develop their skills, and see them succeed

Cons

1.) I am considered to be the top in my position. I am my bosses successor and I have been chosen to take his position when he is promoted. Yet I am paid $2/hr less than my coworker (who has less responsibilities and deadlines than I do) and I am making the same (and less in some cases) than the employees that I'm managing. 2.) Night shift

Pros

Youre out of the store a lot, you get to listen to your music/book/podcast a lot, good tips from customers most of the time.

Cons

Driver drama due to order assigning protocols. They replaced most delivery drivers with 3rd party delivery to save money.
