Pros

The people I have worked with at Caribou are the best around. Friendly, fun environment. Job itself is really fun and rewarding. Benefits (Medical Dental) @ 20 hours a week and resonably priced.

Cons

Vacation time only awarded with consistent 33 hour weeks, which is very difficult to get. Hours are generally under 30 per week, even if you want more hours or full time. Can be physically challenging (standing entire shift), lifting heavy equipment, etc.

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.
