Pros

No good reason to work here!

Cons

Leadership does not understand business. Sale budget set my number of AE hired, not by historic sales data. My position should have never existed. I was given 3700 accounts to work. Only 500 hundred of them met company standards. I was set up to fail from the start. Leadership tells you to get it fixed. They don't show or tell you how to fix it. 6 months in and I had no Idea what products and equipment was available. I had to learn everything my self. I was sent to sales training. Even though I didn't know equipment we had access to. Had to learn how to quote my self. There is little to no employee tenure. So no one knows what to do!! Company is not innovative, or competitive with biggest competitors.

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
