Pros

Working with teams, clients and customers. Building relationships.

Cons

Field personnel hired and dropped into accounts, no support, I mean no support from headquarters at region or corporate. They talk it, but cannot or care not to deliver it. Promotions are based upon who you know. Not performance based or education based, some managers hired into positions without degrees (yet this is mandatory) and they get promoted to VP level. They get rid of those they feel threatened by. Alot of turnover in my 5 years there, every boss I ever had and peers (about 60+) people.

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
