Pros

*Average pay for Entry Level *Great place to start a career *Good benefits (HC, Trips, Car Allowance, Gas Card...Standard to above standard these days for entry level sales reps) *Good career mobility if there are open positions *Great training to start

Cons

*Advanced sales training lacking *Big brother mentality to activity tracking * Compensation plan is constantly changing. 5 times in 3 years. Has gotten much worse recently no longer a 6 figure sales job...80k if your in the top 10%. Beware they will tell you different. *You have to force the career advancement question even when you are a year after year top performer. *You must have high energy, focus, and drive to win in this highly competitive market. Otherwise don't even apply. Be able to deal with people wanting to buy from you now but not being able to due to 3-5 year contracts, this will happen multiple times weekly.

Pros

Company gives good benefits to employees, such as free lunch, discounts on shopping, budget for travel, along with the typical insurance and PTO

Cons

Sincerely actually not that many. Because the benefits are so good, sometimes you’re expected to do work outside of work hours.

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
