Pros

None but I need to hit the 5 word minimum.

Cons

Implementing corporate driven initiatives that are intended to make life easier and save money are doing the exact opposite. Company is limiting income and in some cases reducing starting pay. Corporate support does not actually support but adds work and is another level of cumbersome and ineffective direction. Corporate departments do not work in unison but actually conflict each other...often creating mass confusion. Moved from dedicated localized support to an undocumented, anonymous email support that often takes days to respond. Not to mention, there is no longer consideration given to client's needs. Training and on-boarding barely exists anymore.

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
