Barista Reviews
What is it like working as a Barista?
August 2021
Understaffed, overworked, underpaid.
Barista in Sycamore:
Pros: benefits
Cons: being paid barely more than a new employee when i have 8 years experience
August 2021
They’re fake.
Barista in Tyler:
Pros: They’ll give you a bunch of extra treats while neglecting decent pay and hours/labor
Cons: They don’t care about our health/safety. They abuse you and wear you down. They don’t look into any HR cases and will gaslight you if you find any.
May 2021
It's ok but I'm not always given the right help to do my job effectively and have new employees thrust apon me and I am expected to train and work with them with no prior experience.
Barista in Darwin:
Pros: Interacting with nice customers and making coffee.
Cons: The lack of loyalty to their long time employees in favour of maximising profits, as well as a sufficient lack of care and consideration for the customer's satisfaction.
March 2021
Short crew due to call outs.
Barista in Las Vegas:
Pros: I get benefits for part time
Cons: They hire teenagers that call out and they are not good workers . High turn over. Newbies get paid a dollar less than me
February 2021
Not considered worth a living wage.
Barista in Indianapolis:
Pros: My block is full of amazing people.
Cons: My and my fellow baristas’ labor is not considered worth being paid above the poverty line.
January 2021
It is very busy.
Barista in Gold Coast:
Pros: I like who I work with
Cons: I don’t get a break because no one else knows how to make coffee
December 2020
Essential worker but not paid like one.
Barista in Chandler:
Pros: I enjoy the positive customer interactions the most. Sometimes they can really make my shift
Cons: I really am not a fan of the endless promotions. It just gives everyone more stress and it's not like we get extra compensation for it.
