Pros

As a student worker, I don't put much into this job. The nice thing is they are flexible/forgiving with my class schedule. They don't give me a hard time if I cannot come in. I've never seen or heard the managers bad-mouth each other or the company or their job. It upholds the integrity of the company. Hard workers are noticed and favored.

Cons

There are so many people on call that I have to jump on hours sometimes. Other people I work with on my level can be "slow"-smart/efficient workers are left to pick up the slack. Laziness goes unpunished. Immediate supervisors just want the work done and don't delegate responsibilities evenly, so some people get away with sitting around.

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
