Pros

Excellent Pay Flexible Schedule Opportunity to be creative in the sales and operations process Upward mobility in the sales career trajectory Well known company Fantastic service platform Supportive operations team Marketing and technology are up to date and excellent sales assets SalesForce Fantastic work/life balance if you create a set schedule for yourself and have the discipline to follow it

Cons

No real training on the products, equipment and sales-cycle It's very sink or swim, which works for me, but isn't for everyone Poor performers stick around forever, it's hard to shake them. It seems like management would rather see a full sales team of bad performers than a half empty team of top reps The 'internal sale' is more difficult to navigate than getting new customers to sign up. Management plays favorites and this can make or break your local sales process.

Pros

Schedule is set, with the exception of needing to help work larger events. There are deadlines, but a lot of the job is independent and requires you to be able to be extremely organized and self-sufficient.

Cons

Some procedures are outdated. The amount of printing that is done for things people have computer access to is wild.

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
