Pros

I now know how I wouldn't run a company

Cons

All the work goes to the lower-level employees and senior management doesn't even acknowledge it. Not enough time in the day to finish my work, and not enough support from management. Most of the leadership has no managerial skill whatsoever and no interest in learning. Difficult to get promoted.

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.
