Pros

World's best coffee is free to employees. Relaxed casual environment. Fun activities to do. Good benefits. They are a company with its core value on quality from the bean to the cup and they strive to attain the best. Seriously. They treat the coffee farmers and its customers well.

Cons

Information flow especially about fellow employees is very meager. Actually you don't find out about terms until you get cryptic responses back in email. Meetings, meetings, meetings are mostly a waste of time with too many people offering their narrow short-sighted advice. I have gone a year or two without my immediate managers even asking how I'm doing [with meaning.] Reviews are so bogus and seem to be predetermined.

Pros

Free drink but only one per shift

Cons

Upper management absolutely awful and out of touch. DM’s and DO’s do not care about your well being. Preach this whole attitude of togetherness but it’s fake and they only care about sales and numbers. This company has gone downhill fast and I am actively job hunting.
