Pros

Opportunity to get out in the field, meet people and control your own schedule. Decent demand for the services AUS provides. Regional trainers are very helpful.

Cons

You sell a prospect, build trust, get the prospect to buy, and then Operations screws up all of your hard work. No residual or extended commissions. Commissions can be paid on a multiplier, but the criteria to get there is nearly impossible. The company/market centers do all they can to keep your commissions down, so that it minimizes the effect on the P&L. The RSRs are like a gang of criminals and con artists. They constantly steal business from Account Executives, screw up the business Account Executives sold, then swoop in lime "heroes" and line their pockets. Incompetent management. Managers are primarily in place, not because of a proven track record, but because they are willing to suck up and kiss butt. Base salary is a joke.

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
