      Pros

      Great Brand recognition. Interesting work. Innovation all around. Fast paced. Good people

      Cons

      Good luck if you don't drink the coolaid. Tough place to challenge direction. Decisions are difficult to make at an individual level. Chaotic, and senior ranks take advantage of the crazy dedication partners have. It can feel like a cult.

      Pros

      There are so many perks and benefits to being a partner. On top of health care, stock, 401k, they now offer an education benefit that is hard to beat!! Perks, like LA Fitness discounts and Verizon Wireless discounts. The list goes on!!!

      Cons

      It's very competitive among partners and it is very hard work physically and mentally! Especially if you work in a high volume drive-thru store. Depending on your state, they start at minimum wage and their raises have become standardize, so it's not a single income job, unless you are an ASM or SM.

      Pros

      Sometimes awesome coworkers. Some nice customers who could make your day good. Free food, free drinks, raises.

      Cons

      Drive thru stores are horrible, demanding, and have a high turnover. Way harder than cafe stores with the same pay. If you can choose, work for a cafe. Customers can make your life hellish, especially when you see the same faces every day. Raises arent what they used to be. School reimbursement isnt what it used to be. During health audit season, it is extremely stressful to keep the store spotless 24/7 in fear of the in-company, hardass "health auditors" who want to see you touch absolutely nothing and wash your hands constantly.
