Before Covid, this was actually a decent job, but after everything happened it took a turn for the worst. When starting here they have you go through a probation period which includes less than $10 pay and no tips for about 1-2 months. Absolutely none of the cashiers or drink makers here make $12. Tips are also given out by how many hours you work and you can not take cash tips home after a shift. Raises are slim and only given to people they like the most, seniority doesn't matter. You are also only trained to work one part of the job and can't cross train immediately like other boba shops. People who have worked at the spring mountain location for 2 years have not had the chance to cross train between cashier and drink maker UNTIL RECENTLY. Management itself is POOR. Current employees voice their concerns but management doesn't act (only when the situation gets REALLY BAD) or they fight back on small issues/play the blame game. They have a tendency to have "favorites"/biases with people, so if you're not one of their favorites, good luck getting a proper raise or getting your voice heard. Management also handled the COVID situation poorly and only put in actual precautions (when a coworker might have/does have covid) because the employees fought for it. Workload has also been increased dramatically due to the pandemic (and less people on shift) but the pay doesn't match the amount of work they have you do. 

I've worked at 7L for a little over a year. Great coworkers and generally fun enviroment, however the management is very very uninvolved. We would be out of product for months at a time with no clue when we would be get new shipments in, cookware and machines would break and never get fixed, managers would only come in to make drinks and then leave, etc. I love my coworkers, and they make they job great, however I am constantly being put on shifts alone without a shift lead/supervisor and forced to do the supervisor's job for no extra hourly compensation or any sign of promotion, often on really busy shifts. It can be a really lax enviroment however when it gets busy it is stressful, especially when the store is essentially ran by teenagers. Schedule is super flexible. Customers range from fine to entitled. Pay is fine if you just want teenage spending money, however its abysmal for the amount of work required of the job, as most customers don't tip. Overall a good first/part-time job for high school kids needing extra cash and work experience, however the turnover rate is high and after a while it gets really repetitive and grating, especially if you have even the slightest financial responsibilities 

The best part of working here is the flexible scheduling and the tasks are very easy. However, there is definitely favoritism in the place, managers will favor certain workers and of course be biased in who is going to be promoted. I've been working here for almost 3 years and tried twice to become promoted, despite having the qualifications and support from other coworkers, certain workers got the promotion instead strictly because the manager personally favored them. Long story short, if you get management to favor you, you're guaranteed to get all the promotions and benefits from management and the company, if you're not favored, expect reduced hours and 0% chance of getting promoted regardless if you're determined or amazing at your job. 

This job was super easy and I  had amazing coworkers who were fun to work with. I love that this is one of the few boba companies that actually have a lot of organization and structure, I have worked at quite a few other places already. They set clear expectations of what is expected of they're workers and I would say our pay is pretty fair. This job was super flexible with my schedule because it's easy to find covers for my shifts if needed. The only thing I can complain about is how that when something was wrong with the store they seem to only give temporary solutions when there are clearly better permanent solutions that can be done. They didn't seem to want to spend their money to better their stores when it's clear they can afford to.

for the most part it's a pretty friendly work environment with work tasks that aren't too difficult especially once you get the hang of it. 

only issue is that the upper management plays favorites and hires/promotes externally before internal team is considered. very strict on labor so be prepared if someone gets sent home and you're now working extra because your store couldn't "afford" them. 

memorizing the drinks, their modifications, and making drink pitchers can be challenging when first starting but definitely gets easier past the two week mark.

fellow team members without a doubt carry this job, if you're looking for an easy job to make friends and earn a little money this is the one. however i don't see people staying here longer than three or four years due to upper management :/ 

You have to be a fast learner and cool under pressure. There are a lot of festivals. They usually won't put new people on those weekends because the lines get very long and you have to be able to help both drive-thru and in-person at the same time. The hardest part is definitely just learning every drink. They make you take a test and you have to pass to get a raise and also the title of drink maker. The most enjoyable part was being able to make friends. Friends really make or break a workplace, especially somewhere like this. They can work around your scheduled, just be wary of management. 

This started as an easy job, in fact the first manager of my particular store was fantastic at his job. Upon his leaving the company, the store was never able to keep a manager for longer than 7 months. Upper management did not care about issues occurring in the store or the lack of steady management. HR was unprofessional. Our particular store was the busiest, and yet we were constantly understaffed and therefore overworked. Company also got rid of their annual raise system, meaning a shift lead who had been there for 5+ years would be earning to same amount as one who started 5 months ago. 
Overall this was a stressful workplace, and a job with little to no benefits. 

A typical day would be a consistent line of customers. Although it was busy, my coworkers had made the shift go by quickly. The management was split up into two categories - upper and lower. The lower management consisted of people of the same age (20+). The upper managements are the owners/CEOs of the company. I enjoyed working with people of my age, however, there were several conflicts of interest and miscommunications with the upper management. The culture is not how it used to be, which is now, not suitable for me. The hardest part was leaving the company because of the changes that were being made so abruptly.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working with this company was the free drinks. One may interpret that as they choose. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor management and drama in the workplace.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cliquey, unwelcoming, and lots of gossiping. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Customers are as you expect from a coffee shop, but a bit nicer. Workers make an effort to make the job more difficult through drama. This is a pattern in all locations.

It's a relatively straightforward service job and is definitely a great starting point when you are just entering the workforce as a teenage/student. Management tries their best to work with your schedule and the shifts are honestly not that draining compared to other customer service jobs. You'll learn how to multitask, resolve any discrepancies with customers, and work with a team. If you're a hard worker with good work ethic then this job is definitely a good fit and your efforts get recognized by your coworkers, shift supervisors, and manager. Overall, a pretty great job in my opinion.
