Horrible, horrible place to work

Anonymous employee

Pros

Yumbra Cafe Great team, great food

Cons

Where to begin. The management is awful, they yell at you and each other, they have no respect for the employees or each other, they talk trash about whoever isn't in the room. They have no direction, constantly change their minds what to do, how to do it and when things go wrong the lowest level employee will be the scapegoat with management saying the employee should have known better.

Horrible CEO and Management

Pros

Working for "Umbra" the brand that once was decent. Great name to put on a resume for future jobs since most companies and people still don't know how terrible this company has become.

Cons

-Don't pay according to skill level. -No positive encouragement just constant complaints from management leaving you to feel of lesser value than you actually are. -Keep hiring recent grads so they don't have to pay high salaries, unless they randomly favor you if you either a) are family or b) humor them -Disrespectful -Ungrateful -Derogatory
