Pros
Free coffee, tips, and coffee knowledge.
Cons
Work with high schoolers, horrible pay, working in all the outside elements, bullying, bad business values (reusing customer cups by tossing them in sanitizing solution and then using it for another customer. Been told they still do this even during COVID). I was 22 at the time and had been manager of a Starbucks and was getting my bachelors degree, yet I was treated like I was the lowest on the totem pole and bullied by 16 year olds! What?! The audacity and I was respectful no matter what, but it made my job miserable being with them and knowing I could essentially run the place better, but they have an extreme hierarchy system you have to follow in order to become a part of management (have to work at least 3 years and become a supervisor, then another year to become an assistant manager, and then another year and lots of training to become a manager) and there was no way I would stay that long just to become a manager there. It was the worst 8 months of my life.
