Pros

Your direct counterparts will be the most amazing people you'll work with. The company happens to hire some of the best rank and file professionals in the business.

Cons

Unfortunately, unless you're willing to go along to get along, or you just happen to be the last man standing, you'll never be promoted. Or you happen to be a fave of upper management. Doesn't matter if you have the skill set. Looks also matter a whole lot. If you don't have the "Ralph Lauren" look, good luck getting a good review or anything resembling any acknowledgement that you're actually good at your job.

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.
