Pros

I have the opportunity to work for an amazing company in a fulfilling work environment which I feel is crucial to any employee. My employer Cafua Management Company Franchisee of Dunkin Donuts is a friendly, professional and productive workplace. I feel eager to go to work each day because I have a sense of appreciation and pride. It’s all in the details once an employee feels their not just a number, workplace dynamics change significantly. Knowing my employer takes note of my effective and productive job sense in addition to a healthy work-life balance that’s priceless.

Cons

I haven’t experienced any displeasing concerns as of yet.

Pros

Made great friendships while I was there. My location specifically was busy, so we got great tips.

Cons

I feel bad for anyone who works there, I’ll be so honest. My manager was great. But the higher-ups are different. At my specific location the higher-ups would ALWAYS come to hold their meetings in. Not that big of a deal.. until they swarm out onto the floor to make stuff when we’re so busy and so behind with tickets. And then they’re like “oh how do you make this?” aren’t you literally the multi-unit manager? You should know this. Speaking of the MUM, if nobody can cover a shift he’s gonna do his absolute best that he can to not cover that shift, he will overwork the manager of said store any day before he comes in to help out. Isaac is new, of course, the old MUM would come in any day and actually cared to make a connection with his employees. The very FIRST DAY the MUM was IN TRAINING he comes up to me and says “do you have a different hat?”. Granted yes my hat was a different brand but not even a hello? My name is? Nothing until after he asked his question. Moving onto pay. Yeah no you’re 100% getting underpaid for EVERYTHING you do. I was a shift leader. I did everything a shift leader did, I held a key, I did temps, I did refunds, I held up customer complaints, I ran closing shifts, I did the stuff NOBODY else wanted to do. I was a shift leader. I was getting paid $16 an hour. Which is what I was hired at. I did not get a raise in the 9 months I worked for Cafua. Mind you too, I had prior experience at another Dunkin, so it’s not like I was brand new to the setting, and they knew this. The only thing I could recommend if you were to work here is to work part time. That way, you’re not being overworked and underpaid. A lot of stuff who were full time including me were overworked to the max. I knew someone who worked a 8am-8pm shift, the poor person wasn’t even a shift leader. My personal schedule was 10am-8pm. I worked 10 hour shifts majority of the week. At $16 an hour, with just how busy our store was, it wasn’t worth it. I was so burnt out by the end of the day.
