Honest Experience – Proceed with Caution
At first, I really enjoyed working here. The environment seemed welcoming, and I was excited to be part of the team. Unfortunately, that changed quickly once people began to show their true colors.
Management Issues:
Management spends a lot of time gossiping about their own employees. Conversations are loud enough to be heard through glass doors, and yelling is not uncommon. Constructive feedback is rare. Rather than supporting you or helping you improve when something goes wrong, they’d rather throw you under the bus when higher-ups are involved.
Toxic Work Culture:
There's clear favoritism, and if you don’t align with certain people, you're targeted. Employees are made to feel inferior, and toxic behavior is tolerated—if not encouraged—by leadership. It's a stressful environment where appreciation for hard work is lacking.
Manipulated Reviews:
I was told directly that management offered Starbucks gift cards to employees in exchange for positive online reviews to counteract the many negative (but truthful) ones. That’s incredibly misleading to potential job candidates.
Surveillance and Political Bias:
There are cameras everywhere, creating a sense of constant surveillance. To add to the discomfort, the owners openly support polarizing political figures, which makes the workplace feel even more divisive.
