Pros

Benefits Pay I'm required five words but I have no more pros

Cons

Bottom-Heavy blame structure - management will not give you the tools to succeed and blame you for the inevitable failure. Unpaid overtime for salary - you are expected to take PTO for anything under 40hrs but expected to work over 40 without extra compensation Arbitrarily high goals to avoid giving bonuses or praise Constantly negative outlook on everyone's work due to arbitrarily high goals and unrealistic expectations Unclear goals, lack of guidance Did not set my position up to have the authority or resources to do the job nesseccary, expected me to simply figure it out HORRIBLE communication from upper management, especially during an account closure Does not care about their people at all - would rather fire a 37-year employee than find a place for them when it is too difficult for them. Replaced my job with a position that was what my job was originally pitched to me as, laid me off (I moved across the country for this job) and made me apply for the new position, and then did not get back to me on whether I received it before my last day. Incredibly badly managed at an upper management level. Difficult to get responses from management or guidance, but they will be there to tell you your numbers aren't good for an hour every day. Allowed a horrible boss to run an account into the ground despite repeated warnings from their client and other staff. Only worked to appease the client at the end, pushing all work onto staff to do so, and blamed staff when it failed. Inflexible

Pros

Company gives good benefits to employees, such as free lunch, discounts on shopping, budget for travel, along with the typical insurance and PTO

Cons

Sincerely actually not that many. Because the benefits are so good, sometimes you’re expected to do work outside of work hours.

Pros

Working as a Lead Barista has been a rewarding experience that has helped me grow both professionally and personally. The role has strengthened my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills while allowing me to mentor and support team members. I enjoy creating positive customer experiences, managing daily operations, and ensuring high standards of quality and service. The fast-paced environment has taught me how to multitask effectively, stay organized, and work under pressure. This position has also provided valuable experience in training staff, inventory management, and team collaboration. Overall, being a Lead Barista has been an excellent opportunity to develop skills that are transferable to leadership and project management roles.

Cons

While being a Lead Barista has provided valuable leadership and customer service experience, the role can be challenging at times. The fast-paced environment often requires managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously, including customer service, beverage preparation, inventory management, and team support. Staffing shortages and high customer volume can create stressful situations, especially during peak hours. The position also requires long periods of standing, frequent lifting, and maintaining energy throughout the shift. Additionally, balancing leadership responsibilities with daily operational tasks can be demanding, particularly when addressing customer concerns or training new employees while meeting service expectations
