Pros

fun making drinks, free beverages, nice coworkers

huge packet of drink recipes to memorize before first day of employment; minimal support during training; disorganized management with little regard for employees; scheduling managers would assign newly trained baristas to work the shop alone, sometimes during busy periods when customers and shop responsibilities are completely overwhelming
