What don't you like about working at Peet's Coffee & Tea?

"My manager was overbearing, my accomplishments were not recognized and the company politics drove me insane. Your work ethic is not put into play when you are being chosen for a promotion. Its all about who you know and how far you'll go to please them. If you get on the wrong persons bad side it could cost you your job. I would never work for a company who treats their employees this way ever again."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The micromanagement at peets breeds a negative place to work. Shift Leads are expected to do most of the work when it comes to running the store, leaving the manager with little to do besides the schedule. I found myself overworked and underpaid. I was constantly the cash controller, I would put in most if not all the orders, I would maintain the stores cleanliness and train all new employees. My work did not reflect my pay, peets must bring more attention to the amount of work their shift leads are doing and pay them accordingly."
