Pros

Dunkin' has been a fantastic first job for me. I started at the age of 16, and at 19 have just put in my two weeks. I have learned much about myself, management, and working with customers. I was promoted to Shift Leader at 18 and my experience only improved from there. Dunkin' is not a career choice for me, but has been a wonderful opportunity.

Cons

Training varies. Unfortunately in the two stores that I have worked at, both in Florida, I have seen a lack in proper training of employees. There are so many different ways that employees do things, but I rarely see the proper way. I have tried teaching my teams according to Dunkin' Standard, but unfortunately even store mangers will cut corners. I feel that this has much to do with the number of high school and college aged employees. They see it as a temporary job, and therefore the respect for and dedication to standards of practice go out the window.

Pros

Every once in a while you are granted a 15 minute break

Cons

There are significant concerns regarding management’s leadership and communication practices. Employees often receive criticism in a manner that feels disrespectful rather than constructive, and support from management is limited despite high expectations placed on staff. Professional boundaries are also a concern, as discussions between management and employees about employees occur inappropriately among coworkers. Greater emphasis on respectful communication, employee support, and professionalism would help foster a more positive workplace culture. They also promise pay, after employees were not paid correctly management basically state “too bad I can’t fix it” even though that is illegal in the state of VA.
