    Stressful but worth the experience.
    The good thingsThroughout my time working as a team member at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves, I learned basic customer service skills. I also learned how to think critically and that has shaped me into becoming a team player.
    The challengesOne of the challenges working in this company or matter of fact, any other f&b company is that customers would always feel like they are right but one of the main things that could be done to tackle this problem is to work around the customers need. Life is all about give and take. Once you have mastered that skill, only then you can provide the best customer service.

    experience gained was valuable
    The good thingsmanage to gain experience on setting up new outlets. This is one of the biggest experience gained
    The challengesturnover rate very high plus district and operation managers should work with honesty and transparency in order to avoid valuable staffs from leaving the company. Staffs were not appreciated for their hard work and it became difficult to curb the turnover issue

    A good place to learn more about the world of coffees and teas for starters
    The good thingsThe variety of products range from beverages to foods to explore while working
    The challengesWith much variety of products range means a lot more things to pickup and learn while still maintaining the high standard set by the company.
