Pros

The team is great and very friendly. The interview process was quite quick. They were very flexible with my hours as i was a student at the time. There is plenty of opportunity for overtime. The team were very supportive of taking a break for summer breaks and travelling. Also discount is fab and can get bakery items at the end of the day.

Cons

Can be put on quite long shifts and no one leaves until the job is done. Tills are counted at the end of your shift which kinda feels like lack of trust in staff but is understandable.

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.
