Pros

There are not any pros

Cons

I worked in the HR dept at Coors Field and the Pepsi Center, and it is by far the WORST Human Resources job I have ever had. If you are an HR professional, avoid Aramark's Sports & Entertainment division as you will not have any work-life balance.During the baseball season, you literally work from 8am - until the game is over so that could be until 11pm. At the Pepsi Center, there are events year round with basketball games, hockey games, and concerts. So you always work awful hours because you have to staff the whole venue and wait until each event is over. Please note that this is not your typical HR job. You could have the title of HR Manager, but really, you are just a Staffing Coordinator. In addition, management is absolutely terrible. Aramark has the most unprofessional, unscrupulous, condescending upper management.that has been with the company for years. They don't respect anyone. And on top of that, you always have to deal with rude, misbehaved employees. These are the reasons why there is such high turnover in the HR dept. You will regret working here so don't even waste your time applying.

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
