Suitable for university students and supportive of colleagues.
Pros
This company was my first job in the UK while I was studying for my undergraduate degree. Everything was challenging for me because I had never worked as a bubble tea barista before. Additionally, this shop is small, so everyone is trained to do everything. As a result, I gained experience in various tasks, which helped me develop skills applicable to future jobs, such as customer service, operating the till, and team management. Furthermore, my colleagues were very supportive and friendly. The company itself is diverse, with colleagues from various nationalities. Additionally, I enjoyed the perk of a free drink during my shift.
Cons
Working long hours in a small shop requires handling a variety of tasks. These include making drinks, tidying up with bleach before closing, taking customer orders, and unpacking deliveries. Additionally, I rarely see the manager; based on my experience, I see him only two or three times a week usually for only 2-3 hours or just before closing. While most of my colleagues are good, the one with whom I work most frequently lacks emotional control and is not very pleasant to work with.
