Pros

20% discount (but the prices are so high that it's still cheaper to shop elsewhere usually) Awesome food philosophy Most fellow employees are great people

Cons

I'm SO glad I don't work here full time and have to rely on this place as my sole source of income. I know others are not as fortunate. This place pays appallingly low for the amount of work expected from you, and hours are constantly being cut on top of that! I've been here for 6 months now, and I can name maybe 7 or 8 employees out of the whole store (who aren't managers) who were there when I started, because turnover is THAT high. I honestly don't see this company lasting much longer with the way things are headed.
