      it was okay

      Pros

      I has good co-workers, the store has their "regular" customers that always come in, friendly environment, partners receive benefits if you average out at least 20 hours a weeek which is pretty nice. And tips are always nice cause it's extra free money

      Cons

      opening shifts can start as early as 430 in the morning, tips can fluctuate depending on your area. I went from almost 1.50 to about 25 cents an hour in tips when i transferred which is a big gap.

      Know your coffee and who to know - Dead Grinds

      Pros

      They are passionate about their coffee! The company has one of the best flex time policies of any company I've worked for. That said, there are many abuses of policy. Meetings are conducted in a building much like a Starbucks coffee store with relationships as a critical factor to success.

      Cons

      Often it's who you know versus what you know. This can promote potential 'in-breeding' of partners that have been around forever and may need to caffienate their knowledge base, skills, and innovative abilities. They can talk up a storm over coffee. That said,some seem to be on permanent coffee breaks or can create constant, threatening storm clouds of dismissal. In the past waves of elmination due to the ecconomy, many key personnel were riffed because of not being either in the ingroup, in-the-know, or under the protection of a higher 'dead grind'. There are a significant number of dead coffee grinds remaining in Bucky's pot. The repeat use and cycles of old grinds delutes the true talent that facilitate the product and constipates the company from its true capacity and capability.
