Caribou Coffee reviews

Eagan: Staff was very friendly. Management is easy to get along with and shares the grunt work. They don't take their jobs too seriously, but are professional at the same time. Tips are generous, I could go home from a late morning/early afternoon shift with $30-$40 in tips alone, which is great for being a barista, but also because it was just me working alone with one manager, who aren't permitted to collect tips. Benefits are offered after a few months as long as you work at least 20 hours a week. Training is done during slow shifts, where you may only see bewteen 3 and 10 customers an hour, and you're weened into early morning shifts (if you volunterred to work them) so as not to get overwhelmed. Time off was easy to get, I was hired right before a 2 week vacation. Very laid back environment. West Saint Paul: It keeps you busy, and it's easy to get to. Both: If you need a shift covered, you can call outside of your store. As long as the employee covering your shift is in your district (which is actually pretty large), they can work for you. The district manager visits frequently and likes to get to know the employees, so if you ever have an issue inside the store (like with management), she's easy to get a hold of and talk to.

The company has a great product that it is easy to believe in. Overall, the company is supportive of its employees and provides a fair amount of opportunity for advancement.
