Roaster apprentice

PTO, health care, dental, vision

Employee discount on products

I work for a small company that has around 5-6 employees. No benefits and lack of upward mobility even after working for 5 years in specialty coffee

PTO, 401k, health insurance

No time based raises, very white washed upper management, they’re not involved in the larger coffee community. Not committed to the growth of lower level employees

Health insurance, PTO, sick time, 401k, phone stipend, commuter benefits

Only worked here three months. Excellent job and great coworkers. Another opportunity arose that was a better fit For me to attend more industry events/stay more actively involved in the greater coffee community.

Anywhere from $40 - $100 depending on volume. Typically closer to $100 on weekends.

A lot of racist behavior with owner

City of Saints Coffee Roasters

Regional Technician

47,000 at CCC; 28.87 hourly est. 60,000 yearly at Salesforce

i’ve just been promoted to a somewhat manager with no pay raise

2 weeks PTO after 90 days. No insurance or other benefits

It seems like $15/hr-$18/hr plus tips is about the norm in NYC

really depends on days and which shop

?? (Allegedly hourly went up to 20/hr, but not confirmed)

Sick hours, health insurance, pretax metrocard

medical, metrocard, 15 days PTO

worked at same company for 5 years before this position; laid off, so this exact position doesn't exist anymore

An additional $2-4 an hour

The shop is 55% direct trade to pay farmers what their coffee is worth. Why do I only make $10 an hour? and Why do they tell new hires that after tips we make $15-17/hr when that's just not true?

Also, I don't feel safe coming out as trans in this workplace, so it generally feels unsafe for me but it's all I have right now.

Health insurance/sick days

Was fired for disputing unfair wage distribution. People hired after me, with less experience, made more than me. Was soon fired after for bringing it up.

$10 then $12 then salaried $58k and ended on $64k

$30/a day. no tips for managers

health insurance. at the time there was a discount based on years worked. for example They pay half if you've worked there over 4 years

When I did take them: 40-60 daily combined/pooled

Decent performance review system in place, but eligibility for raises lack clarity/vague/can be interpreted many different ways

I left October 2018

Health insurance, paid sick hours

Assistant Manager/Educator

Two weeks PTO, health and dental insurance

Feel mostly supported though I have received vague and indirect communication regarding succession and potential for raises/bonuses.

Assistant manager/educator

Very expensive health insurance that no barista could afford

I had to fight SO HARD to get to my final wage. As where multiple people hired for the same job kept being hired making more than me

Very expensive health insurance that did not include mental health coverage. Also included dental and vision. No PTO even after four years.

refused to give me a raise or performance review in the four years I worked for them despite performing duties that were asked of me outside of my job description. Cut my shifts during slow season and I was forced to find a new job or “try and find shifts to cover”

At time of hire: $10/hr tipped for "BIT" (Barista in Training, the company's starting position). Company has winced raised starting wage to $12/hr tipped.

$12.50/hr plus tips.

Health Insurance and MetroCard help, but benefits are very opaque, I don't know how one qualifies and I don't know anyone who uses them.

We are underpaid, and our shifts are all scheduled to keep us *just* as part time employees.

Discounted health insurance premium, sick pay (which is not a benefit but they sure make a big deal of offering it), free tele-counseling services, free weekly yoga, OK I’m stretching here

Store Educator; Public Educator

$10.5/hr; $25/hr

Health Insurance, free weekly yoga classes

The health insurance is very minimal, doesn’t include mental health support.

Klein’s at The Hoxton, Williamsburg

PTO, 401K, Health Insurance, Discounts

Cash + credit combined: ~$50-80 a day, dependent on season

The employee handbook mentions a company health insurance group, but I do not know anyone who uses it.

Typically $280 - 350 a week

Starting pay was $11/hr raised to $12 after being approved to work on bar, though this raise often took a while to actually get processed. Other raises were based on who asked for one. Generally a good company to work for.

health insurance, commuter benefit

Yes, the tips really varied that much, depending on shift and location. The company used to proudly pay minimum wage to all baristas (and more for leads) but, last I heard, they have refused to raise to $15.

Partners coffee (formally Toby’s Estate)

(1)Currently manager (2) Before that part time trainer/shift lead (3) Before that shift lead (4) before that Barista

(1) 21.00 (2) 18.00 (3) 16.00

Managers have 10 sick days and part time trainers have 5. Can buy health insurance through company. They pay half. You pay about 250-300 a month.

Partners Coffee/Toby’s Estate

$500/month health insurance stipend and accrued sick leave

The $500/month for health insurance stipend was an agreement for me between myself and ownership. I only get ripped out when I’m on the floor for the entire shift.

No tip pool, rigged system, no management

7 dollars daily cash tips in a cashless business

Abput 100 credit card tips after taxes
