Pros

Fantastic level of training, great salary, fantastic location. Training is readily available. Uniform is given for free as well as significant coffee allowance. Great staff benefits

Cons

Incredibly weak leadership skills. Undiplomatic system of promotion. Family members or friends get promoted within the company. Very focused on how the brand is perceived and cares more about targets and numbers than what is working for staff themselves. Low team morale. Incredibly high staff turnover. Don't make you feel like staying. Transient job max 1 year before you hit the glass ceiling. High levels of favouritism.

Pros

Free coffee, great location, beautiful office, free lunch, great view of Manhattan

Cons

Micromanagement, nepotism, unprofessional management, low morale, and others. If you have a bachelors degree or beyond, this job is not for you. Management treats its employes like five year old children. One cannot even take a bathroom break without being spoken to afterwards as management sees this a an excessive behavior. If one complains, then be prepared for retaliation. Nespresso has been sued by employees and former employees several times.

Pros

- Pay was not bad - Benefits that the company provided are great - Medical, Dental insurance was cheap - Free coffee and machines

Cons

- The management here is so toxic that it is not funny - Favoritism plays such a huge part here, that if you don't play politics or become a "spy' for the managers to snoop on other employees, then expect to be micromanaged and treated worse to the point where you want to quit - Do not expect HR to take any of your complaints seriously. Any issue regarding management will be swept under the rug
