Pros

Literally nothing. Leaving is the best thing you can do if you get tricked into working here. Job title is severely misleading. You are not an events manager but glorified non union shift lead. You have no actual influence or decision making power. Sr. Leadership is incompetent and unprofessional. Hiring is based on prior relationships from other failed aramark accounts. Culture is discontent among managers. Employees treated like bodies, personally witnessed people fired over trivial personal biases. Amazing how they haven’t lost the navy pier account considering they lost the CPS account due to the same stuff.

Cons

Low salary MisleadIng job titles and responsibilities Disorganized and incompetent leadership High turnover No appreciation for employees Awful benefits

Pros

Working as a Lead Barista has been a rewarding experience that has helped me grow both professionally and personally. The role has strengthened my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills while allowing me to mentor and support team members. I enjoy creating positive customer experiences, managing daily operations, and ensuring high standards of quality and service. The fast-paced environment has taught me how to multitask effectively, stay organized, and work under pressure. This position has also provided valuable experience in training staff, inventory management, and team collaboration. Overall, being a Lead Barista has been an excellent opportunity to develop skills that are transferable to leadership and project management roles.

Cons

While being a Lead Barista has provided valuable leadership and customer service experience, the role can be challenging at times. The fast-paced environment often requires managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously, including customer service, beverage preparation, inventory management, and team support. Staffing shortages and high customer volume can create stressful situations, especially during peak hours. The position also requires long periods of standing, frequent lifting, and maintaining energy throughout the shift. Additionally, balancing leadership responsibilities with daily operational tasks can be demanding, particularly when addressing customer concerns or training new employees while meeting service expectations
