Groundwork Coffee Response

Hi there, and thanks for the honest feedback to wake up and smell the coffee. I'd really appreciate the opportunity to get to the bottom of where your perceptions of our intentions are stemming from. I can tell you care deeply about making this a better place to work for you and your coworkers, and I bet you have some ideas for how we can go about doing that. While it seems you believe otherwise, I can say with absolute clarity that we live and breath coffee & community here at Groundwork. We absolutely care about the well-being of our employees and the health of our culture. I would greatly appreciate the chance to have an open and honest dialogue with you so that we can address your concerns directly. Please reach out to HR or management if you're willing to collaborate with us constructively.

Pros

Free coffee on shift and take home, chill coworkers, alright tips when it's busy, survivable if you're starting out and don't mind the NoHo area

Cons

little care for employee safety, stopped caring about developing barista skills, management inexperienced and unprofessional, high turnover in upper management/training, concerning health dept violations
