Pros

Lots of great people at the local level. Great sales training. Most of the great perks have been done away with - contest trips, sales excellence spiffs, free dry cleaning.

Cons

This company is a microcosm of the American economy - the senior leaders are siphoning off tons of cash and putting pressure on all the people at the street level to produce more and expect less. That pressure causes local leaders into tight spaces where they have to choose between making ethical decisions and keeping their jobs. Quality exists only as a word in the sales brochures. Trust is nonexistent. Salespeople are treated as an inconvenient necessity. Constant battles between Sales, Service, Production, and Finance.

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
