Barry's reviews about "communication"

Could work on internal communication

Inconsistent subbing system for instructors

Very poor communication. Leadership is not candid, open, or honest and the corporate office is very cliquey. The business is not doing well so they are continuing to lay off employees who are not in the "inner circle" with the CEO or top leadership. There is also zero work/life balance as they work you to the ground while leadership doesn't show any signs of valuing its employees.

Underrepresented Low hourly pay Bad communication and resolutions to problem areas Overworked

Last minute communication with events/promotions etc. Felt like I was finding out with public

This job is MINIMUM WAGE. Expectations are unclear and often contradictory. Employees are encouraged to ask questions, but later criticized for needing clarification. Limited training and onboarding. Very few shifts are scheduled early on, yet employees are expected to pick things up quickly without sufficient exposure. Feedback focuses heavily on tone, personality, and “vibe” rather than concrete performance metrics. Culture appears clique-based. Social fit seems to matter more than experience, professionalism, or work ethic. Inconsistent communication from leadership. Issues are not always raised in the moment, making it difficult to understand or correct concerns. Minimal opportunity to demonstrate improvement after feedback due to infrequent scheduling. Management style may feel infantilizing to more experienced or senior employees. Not an ideal environment for those who prefer clear expectations, direct communication, and professional boundaries.

Management is a little disorganzied and there is a lack of clear communication and expectations, turnover is high and there is some resitance to hiring new employees.

Customers are mean, rude, and entitled. Also you don’t get free smoothies. Communication from management can be disorganized
