Pros

None. Really there is none. Maybe working with the other Argo employees but their also unhappy because they work for Argo Tea.

Cons

The pay is not enough for the work they just drop on your lap. No respect for your life outside of Argo Tea, they expect you to work on your days off because people call out all the time and their espresso machine and other machines like the bar always break and they also expect you to just deal with it even if the company that gross 17 mill a year is too cheap to fix any of the equipment. It's fun when customer screams at you because half the menu is unavailable because Argo is too cheap to fix their stuff which also hurts sells Which in return the GM gives you attitude because the store ain't meeting its sells quota. Human resource is a joke, the person over there clearly does not care or know what she is doing. And the GM could have hoot about the Baristas and is completely useless, and the owner is also does not want anything to do with the baristas clearly he's self titled . He won't even say hi to you he just expect you the give him white tea and is too good to be caught talking to a looser barista. They completely lie to you about jobs, I got hired has a barista but ended up being barista, prep, janitor, assistance manager, manager, dishwasher, GM for customers who want to scream at someone, handy man because Argo is too cheap to hire their own handy man. No Hoilday pay, no chance for upping your pay, health insurance is a joke. No sick days or PTO, can't request days off, honestly I could go on.

Pros

The tea is actually really good.

Cons

The reviews are absolutely correct, it will be the worst experience of your career if you choose to work at Argo Tea. The CEO, Arsen, it the reason this company will fail. Don't compare yourself to Apple, you are so far from it it's shocking that you would have the arrogance to even say it. If you are considering a job here, please read every other 1 star review and listen to what they have to say. I was a manager for less than a year and left without having another job to fall into it was that bad. I've been a franchise owner and developer and even at my worst, I was never as terrible as this company is to it's employees. Please, please, please steer of this company. I'm not a bitter ex-employee, I'm just trying to paint a clear picture.
