Pros

Fun, Upbeat atmosphere, Everyone is cheerful and seems genuinely happy to be there. If you enjoy coffee it can be as much fun as it is work. You also get many oppurtunities to experiment and leanr all about coffee.

Cons

Working at Caribou is a lot of work. It us a fast paced enviroment that can become very stressfull at times and there was little to no downtime. You are only required to recieve one break if you work over eight hours so shifts can begin to feel very long.

Pros

Free drink but only one per shift

Cons

Upper management absolutely awful and out of touch. DM’s and DO’s do not care about your well being. Preach this whole attitude of togetherness but it’s fake and they only care about sales and numbers. This company has gone downhill fast and I am actively job hunting.
