Pros

Decent pay Gas card Car allowance Cell phone Laptop Freedom to set meeting when you want Many products that can service multiple industries Diverse selection of products Competitive pricing when signing customers up

Cons

No integrity- there is a fundamental flaw with the way the business is ran. Instead of adding new customers and working hard to keep them, their philosophy is get as much out of the customer they can until they decide to leave. As a sales professional you feel as though you are selling your soul to make money. Every customer that you sit across from and sell on the idea of committing to your service for the next 3-5 years is in for a rude awakening. Service is incentivized to screw the customer over at every angle (price increases, automatic renewals, lost & ruin percentages, poor quality, shortages, delays, anonymous charges) I literally watched our district manager tell a customer "it's time to go separate ways, we don't want you as a customer" over a $100 credit

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
