Pros

good hours to fit your lifestyle discount on cloths most of the co-workers are ok to work with and the manigement can be fun to work with if thier not stressed which seem to be all the time

Cons

no hours they only hire part time. I work hard, I stay longer and come in if someone calls off from work. I would help customers with knowlage of the product and make sales. Its a really boring and dull place to work. Its ok with most of the employees because thier young and most of them seem very emotionless and have no problem just standing in one spot greeting and being bored. The manigment rewards bad work ethics ie.. come to work late, no call no show and just plain lazy. Those people are rewarded with more hours and the manigers treat them as if Polo cant do with out them. As for me and a select few that work at my store I get few hours and most of the manigers act bi-polor with me. DOESN'T MAKE SINCE and that will be polos downfall I think.

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.
