Pros

Discounts but merchandise is still over priced

Cons

Rude management Not culturally diverse Find management to be extremely prejudiced and you will see there aren’t many cultures in high management roles Teams are unprofessional and managers hold screaming matches with other teams like a battle for superiority The worse place I have ever worked and had the worse boss one could imagine. Only worked overtime to degrade and belittle. Was a horrible environment and sad because it is such a historic brand. Harassed everyday and never properly trained. The CEO seems to put in place big initiatives to change the environment but honestly in order to save the brand they will honestly need to do a clean sweep of management. This will help to get fresh real people who have morals and consideration for others. Few people at the bottom are the kindest you will work with but the majority are extremely rude and will look right through you like they never seen you. Not a healthy environment and would not recommend. And before HR comments and tells me to contact them, I have and wrote a complain regarding my manager and nothing was done.

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.
