Movita Juice Bar

My experience with Movita has been very positive, and had it not been for the return back to school, I would still be working there as a juice barista. I have learned a wide variety of characteristics– from being health-conscious to advancing my social skills and customer service. Movita was a place where I became more aware of my overall health and well-being, as well as interacting with like-minded individuals who cared about their lifestyle choices too. A typical day at work included making cold-pressed juices, blending smoothies, preparing food, stocking, cleaning, and of course interacting with customers. Movita is a business that takes customer satisfaction highly into consideration, and the owner would constantly reply to Yelp and Facebook reviews to ensure things were going well with our consumers. My co-workers were very friendly and outgoing, which in turn helped me sharpen my own social skills. I learned that at the end of the day, people just wanted to be heard and felt important. That mentality was key to achieving high customer satisfaction. Even though things were great most of the time, hardships are almost inevitable in every setting. I would say the hardest part of the job was confronting a co-worker who I felt was passive-aggressive in her behavior towards me. Although the confrontation and resolution itself went smoothly, it was just very uncomfortable to go through that whole process for a reason I had no idea of. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to bond with my co-workers and with the customers who visited us regularly. The feeling of a customer asking my name and wanting to get to know me personally is incomparable; it is that feeling of someone valuing me as a person instead of just a mere worker, and wishing to have a personal connection with me. This made me more conscious to return this feeling to other workers, and since then I have put myself out there to make others feel the same way I felt when someone reached out to me. In all, working at this store was a rewarding experience and like I said, if I had not had to go back to school I would still be working there as of today.

Like other reviewers mentioned on here, this job/work environment seemed great at first but the longer I worked there the more I came to realize all the flaws that were hidden beneath the surface. Truth simply put: they do not care or pretend to care about their employees. During a meeting they actually said the employees will always come 2nd after the customers. They are heavy on micromanaging and reprimanding their strongest workers for minor things that don't relate to their work habits. However they will do nothing about awful employees who even harass and make other employees uncomfortable. They will also ignore issues such as maintenance/repairs on appliances for days/weeks/months, even if it affects your ability to work throughout the day. Instead their district managers and store directors will constantly surveil you through the cameras since they don’t actually do any real work. They cut employee discounts from 50% to 25%, don’t allow workers to snack or sip on leftover product and insist it must be dumped in the trash, and never show any appreciation to their workers who make their business a possibility. I advise you to just get another starter job and if this is somewhere you think is a good place to stay and move up, don't. You will only get paid a dollar more and still be micromanaged and reprimanded even if you work yourself to the bone for this company.

My reviews keep getting rejected. I have worked at Movita over a year and 8 months. Its a fun work environment but it's always busy! So your always running around, it's an easy job for beginners you prep fruit, make smoothies and juices,and acai bowls. Its is frustrating that the owner wants the employees to do their best but he doesn't fix anything for instance in the summer we have big house fans on the floor which is hazardous to the employees. The AC is always broken. Things are breaking in the store and they don't buy new equipment the juicers make weird noises and overheat. They don't update equipment that it makes the job a hassle.  Corporate comes in and get discounts but it's difficult to tell who Corporate is. If you call out or forget your name tag you get a write up. There are so many rules to follow that you get a write up for everything. Movita cares for their customers, not you! Overall, easy job but there are many cons. 

I’m going to keep this short even though I have so much to say about this company. I could write a 5 page essay on reasons one should not work here, but I’ll keep it brief. I believe this place is not a good place to work at because right off the bat you do not feel appreciated or valued as a team member. Even if you give them 150% of your good work ethic they’ll blow you off and not give you any raises you might deserve, instead they find any reason and flaw to NOT give you the raises you ask for. If upper management keeps increasing the company’s prices and doesn’t try to build a good relationship with its employees, I honestly don’t see this company lasting for longer than another 5 years.

constantly watched! management always came in to tell us what we were doing wrong with no consideration or understanding. They also obnoxiously watched us on the cameras…… Almost every shift we were understaffed.  I had many anxiety attacks working here and was often put on shifts with new people who weren’t trained properly because there was little to none communication. Since there was no communication a lot of people did things differently because they were told different things by different people which would lead to more confusion. When I first started everything was good and I really enjoyed the job but then it became toxic and chaotic, management never punished problematic employees who caused issues.  Overall not worth the extra dollar.

What a joke of a company. You better be ready to have envious people trying to get info on you when you are just trying to work. Horrible “work” environment and management can care less about your work ethic, you won’t be appreciated here at all.  There is no workplace culture, you are basically treated like a number by the “supervisor” in the warehouse (you can’t miss him). There is no structure in the warehouse and seems like management needs training. You don’t get a set schedule and your hours varies from what the “supervisor” in the warehouse wants. Unless you like toxic coworkers/management then this is the place for you.

It's a very easy job if you're just starting. The most stuff they have you doing is just cleaning, making smoothies, making juices and cutting fruits and vegetables. You are very underpaid for the stuff you do. You also don't get paid holiday pay. However, this job is very high school minded in thinking & direction. There's a lot of gossip and also a lot of bullying coming from management. Management also picks favorites as well. I will say management is very unprofessional coming from higher up and down. When you go to the higher ups and tell them the situations that are going on, instead of them doing something about it, they end up giving you write ups for no reason and they threaten you about losing your job or position you have.

Terrible place to work. Bad upper management & corporate workers. Don't care about anyone at the store level & will try to overwork you with out paying you for it. Forces people to work alone in the store (including closing ALONE) & will try to get you to work off the clock. Tries to fight OT. Don't follow food safety standards & cross contaminates food allergens. Cleanliness isn't a top concern. Doesn't follow COVID safety protocols. Safety & well being of coworkers is not a priority. 

 Work load is fairly easy. Upper management however consists of people not knowing how to run a company . The employees there are cool and fun to work with at times. But don’t plan on staying long employee retention is low , they run through employees like a revolving door this is due to upper management. I don’t see this company lasting 7 to 10 years.Overall if your looking for a job that will get you a couple of checks while your on break from school until you return it fits the needs.

I worked here for a while. There is a lot of favoritism and favor the person that’s starts the drama. Very stressful and upper management adds so many things for us to do while also cutting hours. Manager here was one of the worst I’ve ever had. Since there’s a lot of family involved there’s always sides and the worker never wins. HR here is also horrible they never help out the worker always the upper management. Save yourself the mental strain here because once the manager sets their eye on not liking you they’ll do everything possible to have you gone.
