Pros

Was one of the best places to work a few years back. Great vacation and 401k. Met many friends for life here.

Cons

So unorganized and chaotic. Senior leadership is so detached from reality and every week you just wait to see who will be let go. It is maddening to me when ceo says one team and open communication and that is not happening. Not sure how much longer I can watch this go on. It’s not about business but major politics and favorites. And don’t bother going to HR as it is useless. I put in many years here as I truly loved this place but it’s like they don’t care about their people anymore.

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.
