Pros

Job is on Campus Coworkers were mostly a great group of people Free meal every shift over 6 hours

Cons

Everything inside the stores is outrageously overpriced, even though their target audience is broke college students. Management is terrible and continually introduced more and more rules that made absolutely no sense. Originally, this job was somewhere that you could work on homework as a student, as long as you were attentive to any customers that might be in the store, but by the time I left, I was worried to even have a book there to read on slow days. Management would also consistently get the schedules completely wrong, even if you have had the same availabilty forever. Management would consistently be shuffling people around to different locations for no reason. Did I say that the management was terrible?

Pros

Schedule is set, with the exception of needing to help work larger events. There are deadlines, but a lot of the job is independent and requires you to be able to be extremely organized and self-sufficient.

Cons

Some procedures are outdated. The amount of printing that is done for things people have computer access to is wild.

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
