Entrevista
The recruitment process started with a call from Istanbul for a branch in Izmir. Although the interviewer was present at the location, I was kept waiting for 30 minutes without any explanation or apology. The overall process felt very amateur and unorganized.
Although the job posting and the phone call specifically emphasized (no experience required), it became clear that this was misleading as no feedback or follow-up was provided.
During my interview, they didn't even bother to specify the salary details. However, based on extensive feedback from past employees, the company’s wage policy is notoriously poor.
You are not just a barista. You are expected to be a janitor (cleaning toilets), a shelf stocker, a cashier, and a heavy-lifter (carrying pallets of milk and ice). The expectation is for one person to handle five different jobs simultaneously. The workload is extreme, especially during "pre-closing" and "closing" shifts.
The company does not provide a shuttle service or any commuting support. Only a food card is provided. The management often sets unreachable targets to avoid paying bonuses, leading to a high-pressure and unhappy environment.

Easy-going, conversational, friendly. They were understanding and listened well. It was easy to speak to them. However, interviewing in a busy store can get a bit difficult with everyone inside the store.
Basic questions about my personality, reliability, and desire to work. Not very difficult however be prepared to talk about yourself and show a willingness to learn and you should be fine.
The interview was quite easy and relaxed. They asked me about different case scenarios, how I would handle certain situations, and discussed my previous work experience in detail. The interviewers were friendly and professional throughout the process, which made me feel comfortable. As a nice gesture, they also offered me a free coffee while I was there.
