Pros

Team of Baristas and Store Manager are collegiate, friendly, and considerate of one another. Free coffee, 50% off food on shift. Raise money for guide dogs uk.

Cons

The standard of work expected is not proportionate to the wages. Head Office staff micromanage and make staff uncomfortable when theyre around Cafe open 7 days a week.

Pros

I loved my coworkers, and found them easy to work with.

Cons

I think the coffee training process was too long, though I understand the rationale for it. However, there was never enough time to practice, and it became very frustrating.

Pros

Lots of support in place, such as coffee training, area manager, HR, managers calls to talk with other stores. A place where progression is encouraged, I went in as a barista, left as store manager.

Cons

Can get stressful with how busy it gets, but that’s hospitality
