Pros

I get to craft amazing and fun beverages

Cons

There is never enough coverage and we are asked to follow a standard that leads to burnout for our partners. More items continue to be piled onto our daily operations, but we are struggling to get the bare minimum done at times. We have lost so many managers district level and no one holds anyone else accountable for their stores. The pay also isn’t worth it for management, or else they would put more effort into their jobs (I assume).
