Vantaggi
I enjoyed being a part of a dynamic team of positive enthusiastic women in our beautiful brick and mortar store in Studio City, Los Angeles. We provided the local sober curious community with a space to explore, sample and learn about the vast array of non- alcoholic beverages in the market. For 19 months since the store opened its doors, we poured our hearts and souls into building a loyal customer base.
Svantaggi
The corporate branch and upper management is located in NYC. There was very little support from them along the way and the divide just eroded our ability to thrive over the 19 months we were open. Constant changes in management personnel and protocols, cutting our hours, benefits and generally degrading our experiences without any warnings... all the way til the end. We were given 2 days notice to pack up the products and were laid off. The corrosive culture trickled down from the corporation, but those of us with boots on the ground did everything we could to make our store a special place. Just look at the Yelp and Google reviews!
