Pros
Made some good friends there

There’s multiple:
1. The owners are awful both in personality and in management of money - accused baristas and roasters workers of theft multiple times
2. Shift in management was an absolute sh*t-show (for a lack of better word)
3. Any time something broke that was a necessity in running a coffee bar, the owners did everything BUT fix it - the fridges for the milk broke multiple times before being replaced and it took them two weeks to fix the sanitizer, and after it was fixed it still broke constantly from bad installment. Owners still encouraged the use of dine-in ware despite this
4. They were heavily anti-mask (and still are?)
5. The bar wasn’t even built properly, so baristas were MANUALLY carriage out discard water from the machines so the owners didn’t have to properly install it
6. As a barista, there is no way to move up in the company and owners constantly threatened to fire employees when raises were brought up (literally a federal offense but whatever)
7. There are multiple things that can be done as a barista, like learning to roast coffee, making syrups, giving tours, and running the online shop, but these additional jobs don't come with any additional pay
8. Speaking of the online, the website is spotty at best, and the people that worked on it were impossible to talk to. Orders were constantly lost and it was always blamed on the people working on the shop
