TIGER SUGAR

-Working here wasn’t the amazing experience but a good job. Starting off with the place, it’s a very small place for a boba shop considering that it’s a to-go shop, so therefore if you work here four people is the max that I’ve seen PER SHIFT! but usually one or two workers are more likely, So if you’re introverted or don’t like around a lot people than this job is good for you. Speaking of workers, from my experience a lot of them are nice. This job is good for part-time high school or college students but honestly will not be enough for paying rent around here unless you’re willing to have side job or something but there’s an issue. Higher ups will definitely cut your hours depending on how much the business is going! Especially winter season. Slow business equals less hours. So therefore if business is slow then eventually you’ll have to work alone. In this work place I’ve trained for one day during opening hours and that was a bit stressful, but after that you’ll have a good sense around the store and prepping/cooking it’s very easy to follow including making the drinks. Another issue about this store is inventory management is not up to par. Although I can’t really put too much blame on to the managers even though I wished they keep an eye on low materials but at times shipping can cause delays so many drinks or certain materials are sold out. Management was good, they were nice, helpful and can improved your working habits! although there’s some points I disagree with, they’re were caring. They have flexible hours but low staff could be difficult to call out of work if you didn’t mentioned days before. Boba rushes doesn’t happen all the time except for weekends or busy hours which I say is around 3-5pm, but if you worked long enough than you’ll get the hang of it! Breaks happens when there’s no customers or nothing to cook. So if it’s busy you’re on feet.

The amount of work is a lot more than most other boba places so getting paid the average base salary given by other boba places is low. Getting a promotion is often unclear and takes way too long and too much commitment for anyone who is actually trying to get somewhere in life. If you're just looking for a job where you can turn your brain off for 5-10 hours a day this is for you. However, I will say it is definitely NOT an efficient way to utilize your time for the amount earned.

I worked at a tiger sugar for about 5 months and only left to move out of state. I loved the job so much just because of the management at my store and I think i will miss it the most out of everything when I move … ive heard management at some stores can be eh but it just depends where you’re at. I’d recommend working here if you’re looking for a simple food service boba job with almost no prior experience required. I miss it already :,(

While I was working there, most of my co-workers had the same mindset of a high school girl and would often gossip or spread rumors. They would often walk into the kitchen area to try and help but would either break something or touch something that they had no business with. If you are going to work there, be sure that you aren't working in the back and the front, because nearly everyone who only works in the front doesn't know anything about how to work in the back

I was very happy working here as a full-time worker but when I needed to make heavy adjustments to my schedule, my manager was extremely helpful and understanding to my situation and gave me every option and accommodation possible. I’ve truly never had a boss as kind and helpful as her, and I’m thankful to have had this job as a starting place before I moved to my official career.

Kind of a mess, didn't work here long but maybe it was because it was a new location. The managers/co-owners spent a lot of time arguing with each other in the back. 
One of them in particular would hover all the time and point out everything he thought you were doing wrong (even if it was correct). Never got a formal schedule and it was almost entirely high school students working there. 
Not worth it but at least the free drinks were good. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Owners seem to really care for their employees. Would recommend.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Never really had stress working there 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very uplifting to say the least 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always good vibes so no complaints

It works as a college sudent, but don't expect much. Promotions are very difficult as manager have favoritism. Coworkers are usually chill but some can be problematic. Strict rules and standards, unlike most boba shops you think of. Tips is generlly expected for a popular boba shop, but pay is awful. There are better smaller boba shops that pay way more than they do.

I really enjoyed my time working at Tiger Sugar! The environment was always friendly and welcoming, and everyone on the team was kind and supportive. We frequently received raises, which showed that our hard work was appreciated. My boss was also very understanding and encouraging, which made coming to work something I looked forward to. Great place to work overall!

Owner is super sweet and the workers are nice. Though, hate working at an iPad tipping place, bc the company should be paying us, not the customer… as a result our hourly is kinda low, but you get raises (very small ones) if you stay for a while and work well and often.
