Pros

Great benefits and compensation. Great culture when it’s being upheld.

Cons

Zero work life balance. Corporate tightens the noose every month on their expectations with little additional support. Coffee shouldn’t be this stressful.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad that you enjoyed the connections you’ve made. This is the positive experience we always want our partners to have. However, we are concerned to learn that you did not have the best experience with customers. We champion a welcoming and inclusive space where mutual respect is expected. If our current partners ever encounter any challenges, we ask that they reach out to their managers for support.
