Pros
I learned how make artisan lattes like a pro. The company puts baristas through specific training and you can tell they take their coffee really seriously. I really enjoyed learning about coffee, practicing my latte art, and making drinks. When it's not too hectic, it's a really artistic and fulfilling job.
Cons
I worked in an insanely busy location at the Mom&Pop in Mosaic. Like lines out the door for 5-6 hours insane. Pre-pandemic, the store was open until 12am on Fridays and Saturdays, and it was rush hour from 8pm-12am. So if you love being so busy that you can't breathe, then this is the job for you. Otherwise, it might feel a bit overwhelming. The store also had very high turnover and never seemed fully staffed. There also wasn't a bathroom in the restaurant, so employees had to go to the Target across the street!
