Teavana reviews

Underpaid for the workload that is given to management. Bonuses are rarely made since sales are plummeting in malls nationwide. Not flexible with your schedule. Especially if you are a student. The company is trying to revolutionize itself, and does not care about being ethical while making its changes. Training for upper management is very, very poor.

* General managers were frequently recycled. I suspect they were not being paid much more than I was and I was only a barista. * Since it was in a mall, everyone was required to be working at "prime time" for the mall---in the late afternoon and evening Thurs-Sunday. Say good bye to your social life on the weekend! * Brutal hours during the holidays (but that is how it is for all retail stores in the mall for the most part) * If your GM is under a lot of pressure to get the sales numbers up, they will be breathing down your neck to up-sell and pressure customers when you realize they don't want to buy anything--you may get in trouble for not trying hard enough * company assigns grades to every sales associate (baristas do not get grades thankfully) and if you are working hours that do not get much mall traffic (like on a week day) then your numbers will naturally be lower--and you get lower grades. No matter how good of a worker you are, if you get consistently low grades from month to month you are automatically terminated. I've never seen this happen in my store but some people had warnings.
