Pros

Nothing that I can think of, aside from the fact that about 80% of the time, they’ll actually pay you what they’re supposed to pay you. The pros of my job have nothing to do with Aramark, such as where I get to live/work (Yosemite National Park), my amazing coworkers, and the community we have.

Cons

They’ll only pay you what they’re supposed to pay you about 80% of the time. Watch every paystub like a hawk. You’ll consistently find shortages by a few cents or even a few dollars. If you work for them for 10+ years, it will add up to thousands, and they won’t correct it unless they get caught. They’ll also illegally evict you and hundreds of other employees, while there is a “no eviction” law in place, smack in the midst of a global pandemic because you’re safety (and the law) means nothing to them. They’ll refuse to allow you to evacuate to save yourselves from massive wildfires, waiting until it’s not even safe for you to leave on your own any more, and rescue teams and emergency volunteers have to come and do mass emergency evacuations, driving through active fire zones to get you and your coworkers to safety. Their HR department also heavily relies on legal loopholes to avoid actually doing anything that would hold the company accountable, help its employees, and provide safe working environments.

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
