Pros

Incredible coworkers who are blindly loyal to the brand, despite how they're treated.

Cons

Miserably managed. No care or compassion for employees. That includes: your work atmosphere, your professional development, your career, and how you are treated as a human being. I have never worked in such a horrendous atmosphere in my entire life and can honestly say no company has ever treated me as badly as Blue Bottle.

NYC Moynihan hall: no structure in store training, no coffee tasting education, emphasis on smile at all times over everything else, helicopter area manager, disorganized prep
