Pros

Other than it's a beautiful place to work,Mesa Verde National Park is beautiful any time of the year, which you can go to the park without having to work there . There are No pros

Cons

Abysmal Management, I think it's a game to them on who can make the most people quit. HR is a joke and I mean a big joke , who cuts their hours in the middle of the season and is only there when everyone is working. The "there's no problem if we can't hear it" approach may seem like a great jovial strategy but everyone had it figured out by the first day. The stealing by management both upper and mid really shows the caliber of the company itself, they have no idea what is going on. It is a beautiful place to work but you will enjoy it as you ride the decrepit over loaded buses run by a non caring transportation dept. The living conditions are so bad that they get fined each year by Montezuma County but pay the fine because it's cheaper to pay than to get it fixed. If after all these reviews you choose to work there be prepared to be catapulted back in time to a middle school social mentality were management encourages and even seeks out tattle tails to further their agenda against those who complain too much to HR or their managers. There were so many workmates I witnessed that returned from work and found out they no longer had a job, because some unnamed person(and will remain unnamed) said you were drunk the night before, or were seen holding a joint and had 6 hours to vacate the property, no car, tough! no money for a cab, start walking! I felt horrible about the way everyone was treated. They actually told one employee who hurt himself on the job if he went to the doctor they would make sure he didn't get any hours for the next two weeks.

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
