Pros

-The pay was decent -Great learning experience for a young professional -Work with Great People

Cons

-Corporate pressures you to hit unrealistic metrics -Sales and service team engage in unethical behavior due to this relentless pressure -Customer service is preached, only to learn that at AUS there is no such thing as customer service -Price increases as big as 40% passed to customers -Always understaffed -Trucks and building maintenance is poor -Production shortages (up to 30%) -60-70 hour work weeks -Always doing someone else's job -Upper management fosters a toxic environment, from the VP down -Everyone gets written up. ALWAYS. Employees are constantly threatened, causing unnecessary tension. -Management is constantly pinned against Route reps (Who are union) -You will get a car allowance, it is not worth it. You may want to buy a Prius. -Quality of linen and uniforms that Aramark provides is poor -You will be expected to sell adjacencies to your current customers... who hate Aramark, it is nearly impossible unless you resign them with large price deviation and adjacency built in. -The company worships "Yes Men," independent thinking is shunned upon

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
