      Decent pay but challenging work environment and support

      Barista
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay, benefits after 90 days, tipped out weekly though it depends on your amount. You get for the week and is divided through everyone,

      Cons

      Irritable customers, never felt supported by management or district managers, gets clicky really quick, if you are sick expect to call around to get coverage or come in sick. If you don't have a ride, make sure you're at least able to walk because tardiness is a big issue. one of the winters. I literally walked 5 mi to get there.

      understaffed, underpaid, corporate spewing nonsensical promotions and new standards that do nothing but make barista lives harder.
