Pros

Store coworkers are amazing, the drinks are okay.

Cons

The owners don't care about entry level employees, which as a startup is very very concerning! Typically startups value greatly entry-level employees and as they grow that value diminishes... at Cha Cha Matcha in southern california it's the opposite. Directors and managers are abusive and belittling to the point of criminality. Voicing opinions and group consensus to fix employment rights issues is ignored and actually encouraged against. If you want to work here, I'd suggest looking at McDonalds or Starbucks first for a better work environment.

Pros

Most of the coworkers (baristas) are super chill and I definitely made friendships with people that I will keep for a long time

Cons

Completely incompetent management, every single business decision they make is somehow the wrong one, inconsistent, they change their minds every few weeks on new policies, scammers (have us selling tenzo matcha instead of the high-quality proprietary blend that they claim) company has no clear or cohesive sense of direction. theres a reason theres such a high turnover with management. heat and a/c were broken for months and management refused to do anything about it despite employee complaints, and only fixed it when customers started complaining and leaving negative reviews too. steamers, water filters, register, etc. are always broken, and instead of fixing them to make the cafe more functional they just blame the baristas for low sales
