      Overworked and underpaid

      Pros

      I enjoyed most of the people I worked with and the customers and regulars were great. Learning how to make drinks and about coffee in general is a lifelong skill I can take with me.

      Cons

      My manager constantly slept or spent hours on the personal phone calls, then yelled at me. She would bring her offspring in on their off days and they would run rampant and cause massive disruptions. Human resources did no follow up and working conditions were awful.

      Pros

      If you love coffee, this is a great place to work. You can have all the drip brew coffee you want. If you like employees dictating their schedule to you, you will love it.

      Cons

      I did not like the upper management because they are sneaky and they lie. They do not back up their managers, they would rather back up their team members than believe their managers because its easier.

      Pros

      I like making drinks and getting free coffee

      Cons

      Management sucks,,, too much control over every little dam details..also coworkers can be gossipy and tell on you for dumb things but it all depends on who you are stuck with (: if its a great manager then the store will most likely be great, but if youre stuck with a crappy manager then it sucks working for caribou!!!
