A Steep and Drastic Decline
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
It was a great, fairly small company at first. I liked my team and I felt listened to by supervisors and management.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
A change in leadership combined with newfound focus on expanding aggressively across the city unfortunately made me leave the company with not a single nice thing to say about the management team, particularly the operations team. The open communication I enjoyed at the start of my employment disappeared entirely, urgent repairs were ignored for months, and management increasingly made severe mistakes. I only found out after leaving the company that one of my fellow team members was responsible for secretly reporting goings on to the operations head in the absence of a real supervisor.
What was once a lovely place to work turned into one of the worst working experiences of my life and has severely effected my outlook on the Berlin coffee industry moving forward.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Broken equipment, request for repairs largely ignored. Fellow baristas were lovely however, great team (outside of management).
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Management (particularly operations) was arrogant and stubborn, had no respect for baristas. There was no process of accountability for mismanagement, for the constant mistakes they made. Showed signs of clear favouritism, getting baristas they liked to report on their colleague's performance behind their backs.
