Pretty fun workplace..for the most part.
Barista
Columbus, OH
It was fun while it lasted, great benefits, and great people to be around. Management was cool, superrr leanient. My main reason for leaving was that I was not receiving enough hours, and I was at the max hourly rate for a barista. But other than that, it was a really great workplace.
