Barista/Cashier (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - September 25, 2021
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by Indeedevery job has ups and downs & typically i don’t agree that pay is fair anywhere, but at dutch i felt appreciated by not only my coworkers but also our customers and was pretty well compensated in tips. it’s not for everyone, but it was very nice for me.
Pros
free drinks, awesome company culture, great customers, fun environment
Cons
complicated & exhausting hiring process

Fun in all respects just draining
Barista (Current Employee) - Colorado Springs, CO - September 24, 2021
Loved my coworkers and my on site management team, but the job itself did require a large social and physical battery that I left feeling was drained by the end of a shift.

Energetic!!
Dutch is the best place to work, there are plenty of new things to do and see everyday, and you are never bored!! Also, the free coffee is amazing!!!!

flexibile scheduling usually solid managment. Pay is very low for what is asked of employees.
Shift Lead (Former Employee) - Meridian, ID - September 15, 2021
The flexibility of schedule was the best part for me personally. Beyond that the company demands a lot in terms of on the clock and off for a minimum wage job. the working conditions are also a little tough at times for making minimum wage.

Fun Job but Poor Management
Barista (Former Employee) - Hillsboro, OR - September 8, 2021
I had great coworkers and loved that there were shorter shifts to be able to work around my school schedule. The management wasn’t good and did a pretty bad job at creating an uplifting environment (typical for Dutch). Lots of nitpicking, criticism, and just overall bad attitudes. Other than that, it was a fun and easy job.
Pros
Free coffee, short shifts
Cons
Management, out of work expectations
Was this review helpful?
fast paced, great customers
great first job but i didn’t like that management felt like they needed to know personal life information all the time. Also during shift something always happened or something broke n made the rushes way more stressful. sometimes the stand just wasn’t prepared and you couldn’t do anything about it
Pros
short shifts, customers
Cons
unprofessional management, no balance on scheduling

Loved my job!
Barista (Former Employee) - Surprise, AZ - September 1, 2021
I loved my job as a Dutch bros barista- but the employees at the Dutch bros west valley surprise az location is very cliquy, management is terrible and lazy. Work at any other stand please! I was put down BY my managers, called toxic etc. after every single shift I would end the day thinking I did such a good job with my speed, and my quality of work just to be shot down and put down. I left work crying on the way home every day. And when I was forced to move across town with my 2 year old, I asked for a transfer to one of the Gilbert locations. I sent an email to headquarters never heard back from them and immediately got fired. After spending an entire month at Dutch that was practically an entire month of training- I am HIGHLY disappointed that I was blocked and ghosted. If you want to work at Dutch seriously work at any other stand. Do not work at the Surprise az locations
Pros
Free drinks
Cons
No lunch breaks, bottoms of shoes melted from standing outside too long, tips are split, Not a family friendly company

fun job, good tips!
Barista (Former Employee) - Manteca, CA - August 28, 2021
The only complaint is working with no breaks (which is kinda illegal) and working in hot conditions/smoke. otherwise it’s a great place to work, really fun, management is really nice and accommodating to your personal life schedule as well. Made tons of friends and sometimes even felt like family.
Pros
free drinks, wear whatever you want except the shirt has to be dutch
Cons
no breaks, working conditions

Fun, but no ability for promotions or raises
Barista (Former Employee) - Redding, CA - August 28, 2021
Fun and fast paced, but no room to grow upward into the business (even though they preach this 24/7). Employees are favored on personal relationship with management and not based on work ethic or effort made to grow. Only good for a stationary part time job.
Pros
Free coffee, fun environment
Cons
No breaks, no upward mobility, favoritism

Bittersweet
This job is the best and worst job I’ve ever had. Is it fun and fast paced? Yeah most of the time I would say so. Will the management take advantage of you can work you to the bone? Yes they will do that. Don’t expect Dutch to care about you either. I’ve seen people fired for showing up 2 minutes late.
Pros
Free drinks
Cons
Not enough pay and they ask too much

Apply right now !!
Barista (Former Employee) - Woodland, CA - August 27, 2021
Where do I start? Dutch bro’s was such an amazing job! Especially as my first job! The crew is amazing (obviously is different everywhere) the pay is awesome, you get a lot of hours. The company itself has such a great background to it and the ceo cares so much about his company. I can’t stress this enough but Dutch bro’s is the job you want to be at! It has so many great opportunities and you make lifelong friends! We would get rushes about every 30 minutes but with the help of your coworkers, it was nothing!! If you’re energetic and outgoing, this is the place for you or if you’re looking for something out of your comfort zone, Dutch bro’s is the place! It helped me expand my horizons and discover a totally completely new side of me! I love this company and plan on going back!
Pros
Great pay! Coworkers are awesome! Management is organized! Good hours!
Cons
Nothing

Great place to work at some franchises
Broista (Former Employee) - Phoenix, AZ - August 25, 2021
A particular large franchise welcomes you at first but because of the fun bubbly personality represented at the company the over push it to be fake and if your not one of those people to be over the top with it they label you with “bad attitude” i was very happy at my previous location not a single write up or disciplinary action was needed until i made the move to transfer to a different stand and franchise out of state. Now i have been writen up and talked to multiple times about bad interactions because i am not overly fake bubbly
Pros
Free Drinks
Cons
Management and No Breaks

Fast pace and awesome work place.
Barista (Former Employee) - Auburn, CA - August 22, 2021
I love working at Dutch Brothers Coffee. You become very knowledgeable of the art of making coffee in your time there. They are easy to work with scheduling and taking time off. Not to mention how many amazing people you’ll get to meet working for them.
Pros
Free coffee!
Cons
Early morning shifts

Fast work pace environment
Barista (Current Employee) - Fresno, CA - August 22, 2021
As a leader at work and trainer I’m not given the pay I deserve for the work they expect of me. We are constantly short handed because they want payroll to be low. Managers don’t help you move up if they think it’ll jeopardize them losing a good worker in their stand. I have had many great memories and fun times. They have just lost view of what they Dutch bros used to be about.
Pros
High energy all around you. Good music

Fun and challenging job!
Barista (Former Employee) - Portland, OR - August 21, 2021
Working at dutch demands a lot of mental energy, but it can really be a positive challenge when approached the right way, and you learn a lot about customer service.
Pros
free coffee (depending on franchise), good tips
Cons
management can vary

Amazing fun job, not great pay
Broista (Current Employee) - Eugene, OR - August 17, 2021
Personally I love working at dutch bros! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. But they pay minimum wage and personally I think that’s silly. Everyone loves Dutch bros. Taco Bell and Starbucks make more. But if being happy at work is worth it.., it just is!
Pros
Drinks and tips
Cons
Pay, some of the environment is toxic

Fun work environment
Barista (Current Employee) - San Tan Valley, AZ - August 6, 2021
This job has changed my perspective on many things. Work does not feel like work. The management is great and you really have time to balance your personal life.

Fun Place to Work
I really liked working for Dutch Bros they are considerably flexible compared to most jobs. They really do make sure it is a happy environment. If you work here though you have to deal with the dreadful heat outside and constantly keep a Disneyland persona throughout your entire time here. Overall it pays well and it is fun.
Pros
Free coffee, positive coworkers
Cons
Working outside, Constant messages outside of work
