Pros

free shift drink not a tough business to manage

Cons

no 401k match low pay for what the store generates in profit and compared to other similar companies no room to move up store managers are moved around frequently - store manager for 4 years in 9 different stores! They want to overstaff the stores, now no one in my store can get more than 10-15 hours because of this, DMs are moved around as frequently as store managers Hard to believe that a company that goes through this much milk doesn't recycle! my store throws away over empty 150 milk jugs each week!!!!

Pros

It's a very easy job, and you have a lot of free time on your hands most of the time. You get many free drinks for yourself during your shift, and you get to meet a lot of new people. My manager is nice, but she can be rude sometimes.

Cons

The pay is low, and a lot of my supervisors make mistakes and I get blamed for them because I'm the newbie. Sometimes it's unfair, but I learn to deal with it.

Pros

Most coworkers are fun to work with and the same goes for the clientele. You get to interact with great customers and get to know the "regulars". They genuinly care about Caribou and you and love coming in to relieve the stress of their workdays. Plus the benefits offered are second to none.

Cons

The pay is so-so and you can only move up so much. (generally to store manager) Often you rely on the tips recieved on a daily basis.
