No room to growCoworkers are mean and are bullies
Good benefits and pay, with minor help issues
07/20/2026 - Cleveland, OH
Pros
Good benefits and good hourly and breaks
Cons
Honestly not much cons except for inconsistent help but it was never the managers fault really
Good schedule and workload, but toxic management culture
07/14/2026 - Seattle, WA
Pros
Schedule was perfectworkload was appropriate
Cons
When I started there I saw a review that said "great place to work, just keep your head down", that adage proved to be true. Anything above a supervisor position is just fodder for HR and marketing to scapegoat and humiliate. God help you if your direct manager has an ego problem.I watched them burn bright and upcoming talent to retain senior level employees that were the obvious cause of the problems.

Pros
- Steady and consistent schedule- Weekends off- Holidays off, some are paid- Free first pair of work shoes- Free food and drinks- Amazing coworkers (except one person, see review)
Cons
The biggest con was having to work alongside a bully, a person who cannot let go of control, and constant negativity at all hours of the day you're with them. This particular person has been with the company for many years, and unfortunately no matter how many people have voiced their concerns about this person, they continue to employ them and let this person behave the way they do. They are insubordinate, rude, and quite frankly a huge bully. I hear from staff that I'm still in contact with that they are still there berating the staff. It's very unfortunate, because it can be an amazing place to work at. Management is too afraid to confront this employee, and just sweep it under the rug. I had so many fun ideas, but the employee I had to work with would never let me do anything out of spite. They didn't want to feel like they were losing control. They also said NO to everything I wanted to do, including using mugs simply because they didn't want to wash the dishes at the end of the day. They also would tell me not to make drinks for my coworkers so "they wouldn't get used to it". These drinks were free to employees, mind you. This person also got into multiple arguments with various staff members, and was constantly down their throats about meaningless things that could easily be resolved. Who would want to work with someone like this?It got so bad, that I was sick to my stomach every night because I just didn't want to go to work and see this person. My mental health was at an all time low. I'm actually at a much better point with my mental health, but it took a long time to feel confident again. After voicing concerns and hearing from other coworkers and their experiences, I just knew management have already heard this story before, and will not do anything about it. That's when I knew I had to get out of there. The things is, this person knows how to play the game with management. They put on a show and have a different personality when management is around. As of today, this person is still there (Revive Cafe) and it's just sad to hear that.

Bad management, but easy job
03/16/2026 - Wheaton, IL
Pros
Easy coffee menu that's easy to learnFun job when you have competent coworkers
Cons
Poor management. Different managers instruct different ways. Empty threats with no repercussions for staff that do not obey work guidelines. Students often don't show up to shifts and management will still schedule them with you so you're working alone.

Pros
None corporate hell it is
Cons
25 years plus laid off without 2 weeks notice. Corrupt corporations are of course every where. This one just happens to be a cut above the corrupt competitors. They’re really are wanting to replace us with robots. As long as it’s their robots. Good luck humanity!
