Pros

Someone else already said it best on here: "The only positives are the benefits. Good pay, gas card, and car allowance."

Cons

There are so many cons that it is hard to name them all without rambling. Let me start with saying this: PRICE INCREASE, PRICE INCREASE, PRICE INCREASE!!!!! Get used to this because Aramark tries to squeeze the customer dry every chance they get. Also it is baffling to me how may problems there are at this company on a regular basis. In this position you are expected to do EVERYTHING (could be a considered a pro for gaining business experience). It seems like almost every day that the add another responsibility to the DM position. There are always shortages, people calling out, pissed off customers, AR issues, people to see, reports to write, quota's to hit. This position spreads you so incredibly thin that it is impossible to get to it all. Aramark's business model is so backwards, that it is literally a joke in the office. Customers quit because of price increases and shortages, yet Aramark continues to increase prices and doesn't do much of anything to correct production issues.

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
