Pros

Caribou employees are wonderful hardworking people who give far more to this company than they get back. Students, moms and recent grads make my store a great place to work but the company doesn't provide the same thing.

Cons

Poor pay, no vacation pay, no sick time, no raise after over a year nor even a review related to a raise, no breaks. I do mean NO BREAKS. Many at my store are scheduled 8 hours or more and are not offered even a ten minute window to sit down.

Pros

Usually nice coworkers, good regulars, tips can be really good if you’re working busy shifts

Cons

Over worked and under paid. General managers are hit or miss and if yours is bad, you’re screwed and they won’t be held accountable. Some coworkers are bullies with no repercussion. Unfair task delegation. Hard to get full time hours unless you’re upper management.
