Pros

Nothing. Honestly good comes from working here at all

Cons

Pushy instructors, lower level co workers think they can tell you what to do. The pay is horrible that this is basically a job for high schoolers not college students or those who need a 2nd job. Blamed me for things that I did not do because I was the new employee. Owners at the Palo Alto location are rude and only care about high ratings. When I told them I wanted to quit, they asked me to return the week after to collect my check and personally met with me THEY LIED CAUSE THEY WERE EMBARRASSED BY THE WAY THEY WERE TREATING ME and made another employee give me my money…
