Pros

They give you good coffee knowledge if you actually get to take the classes

Cons

I was harassed by an older male coworker that upper management didn't take seriously. Then, when I stopped letting him bother me, he told upper management that I was rude and difficult to work with and they took his side. I was 19/20 years old.
