Pros

Travel is the best part of this job. You get to see the world and work with some amazing people globally. The company cares for its employees and benefits are one of the best I’ve had. The discount is a great perk.

Cons

Toxic environment. People in management positions have been there for 10+ years, lack leadership skills and play a favorite game where behavior is more valued than talent and experience, not a combination. It is very difficult to move up because it goes by seniority and personal connections, Pay is low and non competitive due to the expectation that people accept this as an exchange for travel and decent work hours. This is the perfect job for someone in their 20s building their career. It’s fun but make sure you keep polishing your skills because in a blink of an eye, time has gone bye and everyone else outside of the company have a higher pay and skill set than you. They give away high position roles that only have a name but the skills and requirements are of a mid level. Never seen so many incompetent directors in one place. It’s a club so make sure you drink the cool aid, or pretend, and you’ll be fine.

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.
