Pros: The base salary for a Barista here is okay when you're starting out in the specialty coffee scene in Kuala Lumpur. They do pay on time, which is a plus. We also get staff discounts on all our coffee beans.
Cons: Beyond the base, there's not much room for salary growth or significant pay raises, even after a few years. Benefits are pretty minimal; no health insurance or strong retirement plans like you'd find in a bigger corporate company. It's tough for long-term financial planning in this local coffee business.
Advice to Management: Think about implementing a clear salary progression path for long-term employees. Also, looking into basic health benefits or retirement contributions could really help retain good staff in this competitive Malaysian coffee market.
