Pros

Hours workable around college/university timetable. Higher than average salary.

Cons

Extremely busy and always understaffed. Breaks frowned upon. Any more than 15 minutes earns you the ire of management. Silly expectations. Scans per minute, time to clean the shop after closing and before opening (yes, no cleaners..), time to 'rack down' the shop, all completely unachievable.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
