Cometeer

The day starts at 8am and ends at 4.30 pm. 
Once everyone arrives, a morning stand-up commences, providing employees with information regarding their department. From there, individuals are divided into their work assignment for the day, either on the fulfillment line, production line, capsule cleaning, or other. Management tended to act overzealous, leading to an early completion of the fulfillment line orders for the day in pursuit of high productivity scores. This lead to individuals on the fulfillment line to not having work, persistent to their position at Cometeer was early as halfway through their respective shifts. Management also had indicated to Cometeer employees as of January 2022 that in the coming months around March 2022 we would be receiving enough orders to consistently run the fulfillment line the whole week for the entire duration of the shifts. This was not the case, and orders in fact did the opposite as communicated. This was not a surprise, as other interactions with higher management were greatly lacking in consistency. These inconsistencies were the hardest aspect of the job to deal with, as it felt like the upper management did not understand what they were doing, with their perspective appearing to have the proclivity to change at a whim. Initially when I was hired, workplace culture also was quite rough as the CEO and CFO were on a mission to make the company the "best" startup company in the "startup-verse". These sentiments dwindled as greater and greater levels of productivity were expected, despite not being able to move the quantity of product being produced. The most enjoyable part of working for Cometeer was the exposure to a good luxury coffee extract product, even if the coffee tended to be more oily than an average cuppa of joe. Additionally, this article sums up the experience at Cometeer wonderfully. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2023/01/30/cometeer-coffee-pods-layoffs-ceo-switch/?sh=5687a3b6c64f 

I Believe I had a Unique Experience rather than the Typical Experience at Cometeer. There were a Myriad of Management Issues that were never dealt with during the year the kiosk was operable. Ours had One Excellent Over Achiever in Terms of Sales which really carried our compensation as a Team. However, I assisted dozens and possibly even hundreds of their sales by keeping their side of the kiosk absolutely quiet by taking loud/patrons large groups, stocking their side of the kiosk and making most of the supply runs. You can not sell the subscription with out 1 on 1 attention and a stocked kiosk which my co workers left empty for me to start my Saturday Shift every week. Our Kiosk had way too many wanderers and gossipers that weren't there to make themselves and more importantly the company more money. None of them wanted to share the Physical Work of the job so I stepped up to do almost all of it. That said a year is far too long for this Business Model in one Location. It should change locations every 3 or 6 months due to people trying too many coffees that aren't willing to entertain buying/too many mall employee coffees. Time is the Most Essential Asset 

Working at Cometeer is a dynamic and fast-paced experience. A typical day involves staying on my toes, managing multiple tasks, and collaborating with a passionate team dedicated to delivering high-quality coffee products.

Since joining, I’ve learned even more about the coffee industry, from production processes to quality control, and I’ve gained valuable skills in problem-solving and adaptability in a rapidly growing environment.

Management is supportive and driven, always pushing for innovation while being open to feedback and new ideas. The workplace culture is energetic, team-oriented, and fueled by a shared passion for coffee and excellence.

The hardest part of the job is keeping up with the fast pace during high-demand periods, which requires strong time management and quick decision-making. However, that same energy makes the job exciting and never boring.

The most enjoyable part is working with a team that genuinely cares about the product and each other, as well as seeing the impact of our work in the growth and success of the company. It’s rewarding to be part of something that’s reshaping the coffee experience.

This is my first real job and I started as a coffee associate,  didn’t think selling coffee pods would be the thing to level me up, but here we are. What I thought would be just a paycheck has turned into something more,  I’ve learned how to actually talk to people (not just small talk, but a connection) and I have gotten pretty solid at closing sales thanks to the training from my manager. Like, I’m out here pitching espresso shots like it’s Shark Tank.

What really makes it feel like a career is my manager literally started in the same role and seeing them grow into leadership is kind of inspiring tbh. The Leadership makes it clear there’s room to move up if you show up and do the work.

plus Cometeer coffee is no joke,  the best I’ve ever had, and I drink a lot of coffee and use to make it myself . Being part of a company that’s obsessed with quality makes it easy to feel good about what your doing 

A typical work day at Cometeer is unsupervised and puts the pressure on you to perform. The job itself is easy, and the labor is simple. Being good at this job requires a certain je ne sais quoi. You either have it or you don't. 

But, the funny part? Even if you have it. You only matter until you don't. You are only as valuable as you are today. 

I had historic sales weekends and really worked hard to make a good paycheck.

All for the higher-ups to call me in the middle of the work week and say, "Hey. It's over." 

No, thank you for the hard work. No, "Sorry, this happened". Just "We decided it's not profitable to stay open. They didn't offer me ANY OTHER LOCATION.

They didn't offer any promotions to the people whom they had promised promotions to. They didn't fulfill their word when given the chance. 

Cometeer is a good company to work for. I feel my pay and benefits are fair, and tragically better than most places in the area are offering. My day is relatively easy and stress-free, with the occasional hiccup as expected in a management role. I fell that my skills have been developed and will continue to do so. My managers are decent people I enjoy talking to, and the company culture is big on respect for each other. I came to this job from food service, and I got to keep what I loved about it, meeting cool new people everyday, and lose the stressful part of people not liking how their eggs are cooked and getting yelled at constantly. The only drawback for me is that it can be difficult to disconnect with slack being on our phones, and the curiosity of how the day is going, but that's as much a personal flaw since the company itself is respectful of time off. 

I love working at Cometeer because I loves sales and since this is a sales job first, and coffee bar second I get great satisfaction when I can win a customer over to becoming a member of our coffee subscription. I enjoy that there's great pay plus incentives to move into a better paying roll the more you sell. I love my manager and she's always there when I need something. Our team works well and although sometimes it can be challenging to hit our sales target, that's what a challenge is.

You’re basically reeling people in with the promise of free coffee and then trying to get them to buy a subscription to something 9/10 they won’t want. 

Work culture is horrendous and very micromanaged for “free coffee samples” which makes absolutely no sense. I was told they were close to shutting my kiosk down. There is no job security which causes people to act out of character. 

You can’t sell to people who are not in front of you. They expect 30-40 people to stop for free coffee which is just not the case in a real life environment. 

The product itself is truly fantastic. That makes it relatively easy to sell. People that appreciate great coffee are always impressed. 

The company is growing quickly so I had advancement opportunities quickly too. As a full time employee, the benefits are great including PTO, parental leave and sick leave. 

The company culture is great and truly takes care of their employees. 

The best part of the job is the people. We have an amazing team atmosphere and great work is always recognized! Another great thing is how much I have learned about coffee! We offer an amazing product that is easy to sell. We are challenged to hit goals daily, however that is accompanied with training and support! Overall, a great place to work!
