    I love working for this company. I transferred stores when I switched schools, very convenient. Great pay and very flexible for students! I’ve worked in several different departments, and was pleased with the training I was provided to do my job efficiently. This company cares about their employees. I would recommend this job to anyone looking for good pay and even better people.

    Love the atmosphere. Great coworkers and customers. Starting out the other baristas were helpful in teaching me about how things work around the workspace, as well as where everything is located. At first, it was unnatural and I always asked questions but now a few months in and almost barista certified. I have had more than enough time practicing on the bar as well as interacting with customers and getting to know our regulars. Working as a barista is a very fun experience, though it can get stressful at times and the customers may not always be the best when everyone stays in their role it helps to keep things running smoothly.
    I've loved the 'family' environment, as well as the 'customer first' attitude. The training is a little lacking, as I've had to be the one driving my own learning, but overall I've enjoyed working there!
