Pros

Great benefits, amazing perks, partners are so much fun to work with, the daily connections you get to make with regulars and new customers are truly can make your day!

Cons

Sometimes you get customers that have a sour mood which can negatively affect your mood, but overall don't let it get to you! Opening shifts at 4:30 am can also get really tiring.

Pros

- Decent health benefits/insurance, stocks - Easy to move up the company with hard work - Met great people, whom I consider good buddies - Free drinks, discounts - Ability to connect with all sorts of people out there

Cons

- Physical demand (did not expect to do so much lifting, running around) - High turnover rate (loss of good, experienced 'partners' and working with new baristas made it very tough and happens frequently) - High expectations on delivering 'legendary' customer service constantly with a smile - Heavy reliance on running the store efficiently (great if you like responsibility, bad if you don't know what you're doing) - There will always be moody customers who will disagree with you and give you a hard time (pay them no mind, I never understand why some people disrespect you when YOU are the one providing them what they want) - Waking up at 4:30am for opening shifts one day and working till 11:30pm the next..
