Pros

Met some great people, fuel card, car allowance, decent base salary (for an entry level position), good stepping stone to better sales jobs.

Cons

Top management doesn't care about anything but the bottom line. Service department at our market center was horrible, which affects our sales as account executives. There is no set process for installing new accounts (that is followed at least). I signed up a 10 man account and it took the service department 3 MONTHS to install it, even with me following up and trying to help out in any way I can...just ridiculous. Lots of unhappy customers, and frankly the competition just does it better. I also had 3 different sales managers during my 1.5 year tenure there. The commission structure is very poor, actually highway robbery at the lowest tier.

Pros

Company gives good benefits to employees, such as free lunch, discounts on shopping, budget for travel, along with the typical insurance and PTO

Cons

Sincerely actually not that many. Because the benefits are so good, sometimes you’re expected to do work outside of work hours.

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
