Horrible Management

Pros

Free coffee during the shift. Flexible hours. Get trained and work at any Caribou that need extra hands. Walk home with tips everyday.

Cons

Minimum wage. Horrible management. Manager wanted me to quit so she scheduled me for 4 hours per week. Coworkers were hard to work with - harassing and irritable. Nobody went by the book.

Pros

You will meet some cool people and learn useful skills such as good customer service, how to handle money, and manage many things at once.

Cons

It can be a stressful environment at times. The turnover rate for new employees is high due to the low salary and high work demand. You aren't guaranteed a break unless you work over eight hours.

Pros

Customers and coworkers are great. Tips are a nice perk as well as free coffee and shift drinks.

Cons

Empty promises are made to employees. Pay is horrible. Hours are too much, too much is expected of employees.
