Pros

Caribou offers great perks to coffee lovers like a free drink when you work and free coffee beans. Forming relationships with regular customers is rewarding.

Cons

The company doesn't seem to appreciate its employees, particularly in busy stores. There is no enforcement of breaks, sometimes you aren't even able to go to the bathroom because staffing is so short.

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.
