What is it like working as a Barista?
November 2020
Can be hard.
Barista in Brooklyn:

November 2020
Tiring, stressful and at times heartwarming.
Barista in Puchong:

August 2020
Good experience.
Barista in Auckland:
Pros: The diversity of working with different ethnicities from around the world and the fun and kind people I work with
Cons: No recognition for all the hard work and hours you put in. They think everyone is robots with no lives outside of work. Minimum wage pay
August 2020
Challenging and need a lot of patience.
Barista in Scarborough:
Pros: share experience and thought with the customer and how to handle customer service
Cons: not fully train and manager doesnt care much
July 2020
I’m tired of being underpaid and under appreciated.
Barista in Lincolnton:
Pros: I get hours and it’s an easy job.
Cons: I feel like everyone their actually has worms for brains. I think im the only person in my department that can make a complex, coherent thought. I was promised a raise many times and they never came, even after bugging management about my raises. I am a hard worker but I get constantly berated about not doing enough when I know i’m doing exactly what needs to be done.
July 2020
Small Town, Big Appetite.
Barista in Harrison:
Pros: Small town but a lot of hungry people
Cons: There are very little places to work so no matter where you work it’s going to be super busy.
May 2020
Challenging.
Barista in Wichita:
Pros: I work for the license starbucks I adore.
Cons: Lack of communication, sick pay is a joke, family is not important, no support when running your department from store management, constantly feeling like it's an inconvenience to approach any department head or a member of your management team, very low moral threw out the entire store. Money driven, not enough hours to schedule enough employees to support compliance between starbucks and Dillon's,having to wait for months to fill a spot with a new hire or transfer.
