No Respect, High Stress, Very Little Appreciation - Cafe Associate Erewhon Employee Review

Great working environment with nice people.

Long days, intense customers sometimes

The team itself was solid, and the store's a genuinely nice place to work day-to-day.

The compensation is just not aligned with what you're actually doing. You're running a shift, working register, dealing with customers, training people, managing closings - and all of it's on a cashier's wage. I actually did the math once and it came out to about $17/hour when you factor in everything. The store charges premium prices and does well financially, but shift leads don't see any of that reflected in their pay. That gap is unsustainable, and it's exactly why I left.
