Pros

Good pay and for at least 3 days a week you have all the flexibility you need. No nights or weekends.

Cons

It's all about sales numbers. If you don't sell something, which must equal out to $100/rental per week you will not make it. The only chance you have of signing new business is if someone hates your competition and wants to go with someone else. Unfortunately, most do a good job of keeping their customers happy and/or under contract at all times. Customers contracts are usually in 3-5 year terms so if someone just renewed in the last year or two, forget about them. The real decision is to ask how long everyone has been on the sales team, who has been able to retire from a career in sales, what is the average tenure of a salesperson.

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
