Pros

Friendly Staff/Co-workers (When I worked there) Doughnuts

Cons

In Ankeny IA, this is a rather terrible place to work. The doughnuts are good but the employee's behind the counter aren't treated like real people. I use to be an employee here for about 8 months or so and after been ignored, publicly humiliated in front of my co-workers, and the owner's dislike of convenient ideas to help run things smoothly, working here was a stress everyday. The owner doesn't work there often, or at least didn't, and so we employees would put things up like calendars to keep track of pre-orders and a more efficient inventory sheet to make our jobs more manageable. However, once the owner saw them they were taken down for no reason that we could understand. Right now the job can't keep their employee's because of problems with upper management. The employees were the best part of my job when I worked here. They were kind and considerate and when the owner would backlash at them I would do my best to defend them. Yet, in the end all the constant stress that was hounded on me from the top got too much. When I worked there about 8 employee's quit. After I quit 2 more that I know of followed me and as I keep in touch with my friends I had there, another one just put in their two weeks...

Pros

nice people to work with, and of course, doughnuts

Cons

extremely understaffed and leadership refuses to backfill while increasing expectations of shrinking teams. long-term, this is not sustainable and people will continue to leave. internal data is a mess, no confidence in outputs and requires a ton of manual calculation
