Clean Juice

When I first began at Clean juice, it was fantastic. I helped open the store and I was in a leadership role. When our store took hold to the community, I was given several overlapping tasks. This was not a problem since I think I’m pretty good at multitasking. I feel a little like I was being taken advantage of, since everyone was praised by the owners usually when the sales were good. I won’t say all times, sometimes they came in when things were slow to chat with us, but very rarely. When the sales weren’t so good, they came in the store heated and asked why the numbers were not tight. I began to feel neglected through my work and extremely under appreciated. Soon the work became an extreme chore because of the overbearing, entitled, and controlling attitudes of the owners. 2 of the 6 owners, not all of them. They would come in and criticize the smallest details with other employees (not me) even when there were customers in the store. It felt almost bizarre because it happened at such random times and no one had said anything about it before. This got more and more frequent. They even zeroed in on the GM. They then fired the general manager who was, by far, the best manager I’ve ever worked under. It was for a very simple, and easily fixable reason that could have been worked out.He is open, bubbly, hilarious, communicative, understanding, hard-working, and was definitely the beam of the light that guided the store to success. They then claimed that he “just walked out” basically throwing him under the bus making him look terrible to the people who didn’t know why he was gone. Then, all of the sudden, the owners began to work in the store almost daily when the GM left. They had no idea how to turn on the cold presser or set it up, or even make the simplest of the items on the menu. You could tell they hadn’t been in the store since they barely know how to be a juicerista. It really was a very sad transition. I don’t hate anyone or feel any kind of way toward Clean Juice, but in my opinion, the morale and the attitudes of the owners need to be adjusted. It’s in the past now for me, but it some things are still unresolved but I have not made it my place to fix it. I am just giving my insight and experience working at Clean Juice Twickenham, hopefully the morale has improved since I’ve left.

Clean Juice is currently on it's fourth manager at the Calhoun Street location, and corporate workers have been coming in to intimidate the juiceristas and threaten our jobs for a little while now. It's calmed down a bit since corporate now has a new manager here that does whatever they say, but they have been very disrespectful to our past managers, and don't have much regard for the fact that all of the workers at this location are college students and are constantly jumping through hoops to be good workers and help with the many demands that the job can require. We make many different juices, smoothies, açaí bowls and sometimes have to cold press juices. On top of this, we have to make sure that our produce is properly prepped every day, an extra amount if we have to cold press, and it is a very giant amount of produce when there are cleanse orders. It is a lot to do, but management is very inconsiderate and presumptuous. They even took away the customer's ability to leave credit card tips for those at the register, which was a significant amount of extra money a lot of us needed, and many of the customers are unhappy that it was removed. There are a lot of really nice people that work at Clean Juice, and they will all be friends to anyone that comes on. Even so, Clean Juice's internal issues are definitely enough to make me want to leave, and I don't recommend anyone else seeking work here unless they want to buy out the management and make Clean Juice a company that truly upholds its values.

Clean Juice stands for a lot of great things. They make it very clear during training and while working there that they do prioritize their customers and the company’s goals. However, while the tasks given to you at clean juice are relatively easy, there is a TON of things that need done, you are pretty much always understaffed, and the closing shifts are horrible. The juiceristas do everything. Stocking, prepping materials, cleaning etc. My location had a GM, but she quit (over demanded and insanely underpaid) and the owner decided not to hire another, so we haven’t had a manager for months. It is pretty much always just two 17 year old girls there all day long. There is way too much to do for people who make $8-9 and hour with no manager. The closing shifts essentially have to turn the store completely upside down and clean EVERYTHING, and there are typically only two people on shift. The 50% employee discount is nice and if there is leftover smoothie we can sometimes have them, but are required to throw perfectly good “expired” cold presses away instead of being able to keep them, and there is no free food on shifts. It is also really hard and awkward to explain to customers why our prices are so high other than “we’re organic”.

I was a full-time employee at Clean Juice located in Wesley Chapel, Florida. The manager is absolutely unprofessional. Always late to work and leaves work early, and just sits at her desk majority of the time she is in the store. If you want to work for this company, be prepared to get lots of messages on your day off, and get messages from the manager if you cannot come into work last minute. Manager absolutely does not help anybody else even when the store is busy, the most she will do is make one smoothie. The company does not care about the employees, except for the manager. A minimum wage (8.46) pay for so much work and cleaning is unacceptable. Working 7-10 hours per day with no break allowed. We have to stand all day and if we sit down for a second, the manager will call the store. The only enjoyable thing about this job is the people I have became friends with. The manager and the owners are constantly watching the cameras to see what you are doing, which is literally so creepy. I would not recommend this place to anybody!
If you reach out to corporate, they just disregard your email. The whole "Christian company" is just a scam. If it actually is a Christian company, they would treat their employees better.

I loved my time at Clean Juice and was very grateful for the advancement opportunities and the happy welcoming environment. I made friends at my workplace that made me enjoy working there. It's not too difficult of a job, just your average food prep, cleaning and customer service as you would expect. At a certain point though, when a new manager was hired, I wouldn't get feedback, I was treated rudely and expect to do things above my pay grade. I asked multiple times if there were ways I could improve or do better, and got no response in return. Then out of the blue, I got fired for something I have seen every employee do almost everyday. I had been working there for over a year and was promoted twice, so immediately getting fired for this was disappointing and confusing. They didn't bother to warn me or write me up at all. It dawned on me that they had just been waiting for a firable offense to get me out. The way things were handled were unprofessional and I wish I had said something about it. Overall I would give the job itself a high review, but would strongly advise management to reflect on their clique-y middle school drama ways before doing this to another employee.

i worked at 3 different locations working for clean juice. each location had different problems tbh. most of the stores i worked in would have roach problems (they would sneak in during fruit delivery) and while i understand it’s nature, it would take so long for an exterminator to show up. i was promised promotions time and time again but it was always swept under the rug and never truly happened. now that some locations are being bought out by corporate, i will admit they have a better way of running them! at my first franchise location, we were without a manager for 3 months and we had to go to the local organic grocer to buy fruits and bread to use, people would never show up for shifts so the store would stay closed for whole days, etc. it can be a super good environment to work in if your store is managed well, and you make great tips!!! it’s usually teenage girls and boys working the store (me included) but even to me, it can feel very cliquey and uncomfortable as people will pick sides and talk behind others backs. so overall, it’s 50/50 for me! i stayed for so long and kept coming back so obviously it was good to me for a while.

This is a franchise, so depending on the owner of the store- you may or may not have a GM. Or a manager. Or see the owner ever. The pay was okay. My clean juice was relatively busy year round but definitely slower in the colder months. I say this because your tips will make up a good amount of your pay, so it’s a great summer job. Unless you are looking to move up and they are hiring from the inside there isn’t a ton of room for growth. But, I really grew attached to the place- I liked a lot of the regulars and my coworkers, I ate a ton of organic healthy food (which I actually miss), and I did learn some things about health and nutrition. Unfortunately cleanses, which clean juice makes a good amount of money from (and they are not juicing in-store anymore, it’s brought in by truck) are simply aren’t 100% proven to do what they say they do. A yummy juice or smoothie, yes. Do not starve yourself and drink spicy water for $80 a day. Ultimately, I give 3.8 stars.

I couldn’t recommend this job less. I had been working here since they first opened, and stayed for almost 2 years. It was amazing at first. I started as a team member. The management was great and made you feel valued. Once upper management changed, the problems started. We were constantly short staffed due to people quitting because of mismanagement. New people hired are lucky to get 3 days of training before they’re left to run the store by themselves. When they can’t keep up with everything expected, the owner will say “it’s not busy, there’s no excuse.” Kind of hard to keep up with everything when you don’t get adequate training. But then when I would come in after he was working, the place would be left a mess. There was lots of talking down on new hires and insulting them to me when they fell behind, which was incredibly uncomfortable. Countless other issues like paychecks consistently being late. Don’t bother wasting your time here.

this is my first job at clean juice and it is exhausting. we get no breaks even working an 8 hour shift. they abuse they’re employees theres no benefits except almost a 50% of food. not that great of a business everything is SO inconsistent. from the smoothies to the açaí bowls to the food no matter what. always running out of things. so unprepared and unorganized. tips r nice but it depends on customers and all. i get paid 13.50 and tips but it’s not livable. paid biweekly and management is just okay at my location. it always depends w/ management. but overall clean juice is not a place i would recommend its not even worth it for a little bit. i’ve only been working here for a month and want to quit because the lack of communication is so bad. basically stay away from small franchises/ small company’s. 

The work was hard and we were understaffed and we got paid very little. When we said we needed more staff they would get mad at us.There was no manager , so most of the time it was just two 16 year old girl running the store. I did not feel welcomed there and many girls would gossip about each other. We did not get paid for team meetings that were madidtory, which is illegal. We also did not get any breaks during our shift, which is also illegal. The closing tasks were long and intensive, we would have to clean the whole store every night. They were very cheap about spending money on employees. They would sometimes forget to pay us tips or pay us the wrong amount. I was overall just scared and felt unappreciated there.
