Pros

It is a well-recognized company with a lot of potential for growth. You need to speak up in order for you to be heard at times and get what you deserve. If you want the chance to advance within the company, you will have to go for it aggressively. Nothing in life is really handed to you. Another great reason is the opportunity to continue learning new things, whether it is a new process, new program to help with your job or maybe something outside of your career zone. At polo you continue to learn new tools that help you with your person goals.

Cons

One of the negative side of working at Polo is the long hours we put in daily in the Finance Department. It comes with the position but I feel some deadlines are not reachable during reasonable hours, this causes a lot of us to work later than others. Another negative is the lack of communication from management to the peers. In any company, news travels fast and management is always way behind on the news. Also some information that is important to our position sometimes is not communicated with us and this causes problems with our tasks. I think open communication is the more important trait to have in a company.

Pros

Discounted coffee, insurance, some hardworking co workers.

Cons

The first West Coast location of Ralph’s Coffee Newport Beach is the worst place I've ever worked. Under the management of David Peterson, people work short-staffed very often, and his working style is very passive, and his timing is terrible. I don't know why they made him manager without proven experience and a lack of leadership. Chronic understaffing paired with a manager who avoids weekends, holidays, and difficult conversations creates a compounding problem staff burnout rises, morale drops, and unaddressed poor performers make things worse for everyone else. The irony is that understaffing often ends up costing the business more through overtime, turnover, and lost productivity than fixing it would but he they never try to fix it.
