      It is what it is...

      Pros

      The interactions with customers made working at the coffee shop worthwhile.

      Cons

      Management is incompetent. Corporate Marketing and Regional Managers have no idea how a store operates on a day to day basis. Everyone from the store manager on up are ONLY concerned about their bonuses and try to cut costs by any means necessary. It was so bad our manager would would microwave frozen muffins just to make ONE more sale...

      Too many responsibilities/tasks for the pay.

      Shift supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is a fun environment and most team members and shift supervisors are fun to work with. It is fun to learn about the products and the coffee.

      Cons

      Management is often under trained and has a high turnover rate. Many good managers end up leaving because corporate doesn't give them enough support. Products change frequently and there is a lot of work you do for little pay. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with work.

      Caribou Coffee

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Tips, and friendly customers. I liked how the store was structure and made. If you like coffee, then it's a good place to work.

      Cons

      Bad Training and organization skills by management. Store managers are likely to be college drop outs. New employees may feel like they were poorly trained, due to the lack of specific instructions and training materials.
