Pros

Accessibility of Ralph (before company went public) Quality of clothes (before company went public and bridge collections took over) Congenial environment in which I was always learning

Cons

Jealous co-workers Lying dilettantes ie.) Don't say you're from Boston when you're from Revere Den of vipers clawing for Ralph's attention endlessly Old, and I mean old friends and acquaintances of RL's wasting his money and stealing merchandise and getting free vacations in 5 star hotels and restaurants as an excuse for sourcing designs Overall lying and duplicity The Emperor has no clothes Revoltingly transparent sycophants That old blonde hair color should be banned

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.
