Pros

- Weekly pay is nice, but doesn't really help when you live where the cost of living is unbearable. - Union helps & the leaders are really kind & inclusive - Coworkers are a blend, but most are really sweet and helpful - Management is nice, I prefer the supervisors.

Cons

- Upper Management makes working here unbearable. They're insanely strict, and I think trying to pull all of the self expression out of the employees genuinely sucks. Work is already difficult, especially since a lot of us see each other more than anything else. We should be allowed more personal expression so long as we're dressed professionally. - The coworkers that aren't sweet/helpful typically end up being needlessly asshole-ish for no reason at all. - They cut hours store-wide often, so you can go from working 40 hours a week to 28 in the drop of a hat. - Scheduling is bad for our department, and especially front end. It's just terrible. Why would we only have 4 out of 12 people scheduled on a Sunday? That's stupid. It leaves no room for people who end up calling out. One call out, means we have a gap where one person is working alone for an entire department, or two people are alone and when one takes their break, a person is spending 30 minutes to an hour manning the busiest station in the store alone.

Pros

Excellent, straightforward, comprehensive training program and learning modules to ramp up quickly. Management was reasonable and attentive. It was welcoming and I felt respected, and gave my all as a result. They also make sure people don't stay longer or go without a break after the 5-hour mark; this is a California statute with which I was unfamiliar (I was guilty of working long hours without a lunch break in CT due to

Cons

This likely comes with the territory, but a significant percentage of the target customer demographic are of the needlessly disrespectful, uncivil, infantile, entitled, and rich variety. They contrive conflict and attempt to pin it on the workers, or needlessly change their order after it has been obtained. It is child's play. Company policy says to never call the police unless they are a threat to safety, but they absolutely do disturb the peace and ruin the experience for others. It doesn't help that there is an expensive (not necessarily upscale in terms of class) drinking establishment in the same plaza.
