Cascade Coffee Inc

Trying to get anything done outside your own department was a nightmare, and was met with resistance on every front. An utter mess when it came to communication between "leaders". Training programs barely existed, disciplinary actions were rarely taken aside from straight up firing, equipment and safety concerns were largely ignored unless it benefited production, and small departments were expected to clean up after everyone else. Production numbers were Cascade's only concern, and the well being of their employees in any other department was completely ignored. I saw people fired for having to explain their job to the CEO, while other kept on despite poor woke ethic and coming in late daily. 
If you want to work around forklifts that require weekly maintenance because they're 10 years past their expected life, this is a great place to work.

I have been working for this company for two and a half years now. I started as a temp and worked my way up and am in the process of becoming management. I love coming to my job everyday,  the people I work with, and all the opportunity for overtime and upward mobility within the company. The company was just bought up by new owners so if you see any negative reviews this isn't the old company people were complaining about. The new owners are cutting the bad management, keeping the good, and creating opportunity for every employee who is willing to show up and earn it. If you are a hard worker, want opportunity and want free coffee, this is the company for you!

Upper management is highly effective at motivating employees to work harder, but the financial rewards of that effort flow in one direction. Leadership is visibly comfortable while many on the front line are struggling to meet basic living expenses. When long-tenured, high-performing employees request fair compensation, the response is resistance and an implied reminder that no one is irreplaceable.

Rather than addressing the actual needs of the workforce, middle management steps in with pizza parties and catered lunches they personally organize and run. The gesture is not lost on employees; it reads as a way to appear engaged without committing to anything meaningful. People do not need free food. They need wages that reflect their value and leadership that treats them like more than a cost to be managed.

A typical day at cascade coffee was working graveyard 10:30 pm to 7:00 am. and i loved working that shift. and i always came home smelling like all different kinds of coffee.I learned how to run a machine some. and how to mid line and end line on a line that's numbered by a machine.I loved my supervisors they always listened and took care of the problems, or questions you had. constantly caring up buckets up two flights of stairs and dumping it in a big bin of coffee over again when there was a lot of rework to be done. working with a great team of employees.

I worked there for about a month. What I experienced when I interviewed and what was actually the truth of working there was the difference between day and night. Between the other workers and management there were bad attitudes and lots of deceiving going on. I was hired to be a Machine Operator and all I did was labor intensive work and trained for 1 day on the machine. The person training me was arrogant and unprofessional. My hours were hard enough working graveyard and the pay was very low $13.50 per hr. When other coworkers hired the same time for the same position were paid $15.00 per hr. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians as typical in a greedy corporation. My advice is don't work here, it's not worth it. Unless you have zero skills and still live at home.

I have worked for this company for a number of years and have always felt like this is a fun and exciting place to work. There are numerous opportunities for training and growing and the people are amazing and friendly and help make it feel like a very friendly and caring place to come back to every day. Sometimes the work loads are stressful and exhausting but there are always people willing to do what they can to help relieve some of the stress and pressure of the day to day work, or just listen to you vent and help with advise if needed as well. I truly feel like a part of a family when I come to work and am very grateful to have the opportunity to work in a place where I love coming back to. 

When I started there, the culture was fantastic and it felt like home. But that quickly faded as they starting getting rid of employees and replacing all of them with Temps. Pay for everyone was so off that the temp in my department that had been with me for only a month was making more than myself without much experience. Such a shame that the upper management was amazing but main warehouse management was the root of so many issues there. Overall it was a great place but not worth the low pay for how much is required, until they get their stuff together cascade will not be somewhere I recommend. 

At Cascade, everyone really pulls together to help each other succeed. Members of the Senior Leadership Team (executives, managers, etc.) will help run the machines so employees can take their scheduled breaks. They also come in on the weekends to help with production goals and are supportive of a positive and inclusive company culture. There are fun events every month with cash prizes, a spinning prize wheel, comical Town Hall meetings, and lots of laughs. They are also a big advocate for helping you grow in your career and want to help you succeed. The feeling of a "work family" is strong here!

Some days are busier than others, I was fortunate enough to have a great boss while working there for the first year and a half, who taught me great business practices and how to be successful no matter what the job may be. Management is great, they trust that you are competent enough but not to proud to still ask for assistance or help when needed. The hardest part of the job is the down time and struggle to find work when business is very slow. I enjoy working with coffee and continuing to grow and learn new skills and traits every day. My coworkers are great people to be around and easy to get along with.

I have worked for many companies in a variety of industries throughout my career. The team that has been assembled at Cascade Coffee boasts an amazing range of skillsets and incredible knowledge base, both in the manufacturing industry and each of their disciplines.  The work environment is exciting  -  new challenges and opportunities to learn present themselves on a daily basis.  The freedom for each employee to have input is encouraged by management – and it so rewarding to see those ideas implemented. I am excited to come to work at a company that supports its employees both professionally and personally.  Cascade Cares!
