Boyd Coffee Reviews

Pros

Boyd Coffee has a great group of team members. Currently transitioning under the leadership of Jeffrey Newman into an ever changing and always improving company. Quality People, Quality Service and Quality Products.

Cons

Still have some people with the gift of gab that may be pulling the wool over some people eyes. Please walk the talk!

Advice to Senior Management

Keep both eyes open, and all around you. Remember those people helping to make the transitioning as positive as possible.

Pros

Free Mediocre Coffee, Company Vehicle

Cons

This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for in the past twenty years. They sell mediocre coffee at a very high price. The Group Sales Manager that I worked for was a completely incompetent. He had absolutely no background in route sales. Beware of any job offers regarding the amount of commision you can earn. The commision structure is intentionally complicated and designed to deceive. The vast majority of the employees who work at the corporate office are relatives or friends of the family.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the feedback of the employees who work in the field. Hire Human Resource Managers who do something besides back the management of the company.

Pros

I've been with this company for some time and had hoped to retire with them. I am grateful that I have some medical coverage with dental and vision. Upper management does have an open door policy to come in and talk about job dissatisfaction, or thoughts and concerns about the company. The manufacturing end is union, supported by Teamsters. In my dept there is flexibility to attend dr appts thru the day and make up time lost. This company also is a M-F operation with opportunities for OT.

Cons

Downsides are I still make what I did when I started many years ago. It feels as if the union folks are segregated from the non union workers. We keep hearing the same story about how broke the company is but some of there expenditures say otherwise.

Advice to Senior Management

Put up or shutup. The cost of living is killing us and we all need help financially, we are skilled workers and without us your productivity would just dissappear, without your employees who would train the temps you would need to hire? C'mon you need us!

Pros

It's a job in a tough job market. Guess if you can survive the "family politics" and can manage to stay employed with them for 10 years and of retirement age, you can get free coffee for life. Can't think why anyone would chose to stick it out that long just for coffee. Too many other local coffee companies have better coffee and more affordable

Cons

Use to care about their employees. No longer the case. More concerned with screwing their customers and employees. No respect for customers or employees, former or current.

Advice to Senior Management

Sell the company to Stump Town Coffee Roasters
