Pros

There are very few positives to working in this field of work, specifically through Aramarl as a contractor. The single positive is that you basically have free reign, assuming you fulfill your duties and don't slack off. Certainly fair. If only there was more to say on a positive note about this place.

Cons

There are a myriad of things in which present the base for a horrible work experience. The management here is considerably below average. Communication is key when dealing with co-workers whom are easily able to e-mail my boss' boss, about unsatisdactory results. The imminent result with managing performed so poorly is that you're not aware of what you're doing wrong until the day you get written up. I have a Chronic Migaines and felt it was necessary to inform my boss of this pre-employment. After blacking out while driving to work, I called my boss and told him I was unable to come in. He told me to feel better and to keep him updated. After doing so, I came in the next day where he confronted me and explained that "this isn't high school." The following week I had food poisoning, and once again notified him immediately. The next day I was written up, apparently breaching terms of my probationary period: something which he explained nothing about. Overall, horrible communication and management skills. The amount of work and unnecessary complaints deserves more than an eight dollar an hour pay rate and no possibility for benefits.

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
