Careers

I used to frequent Persnickety when my son was younger just for the children’s area. It brought me peace and 3 hours of fun to my son. Now I am an employee – the company culture exudes warmth and camaraderie. The like that owner, Cecilia, is passionate. Plus, I get free beverages. As far as cuisine to enjoy while working, my favorite menu item is the Colossal Burrito – it is loaded with everything I need for the day. Also, I’ve learned how to properly be a Barista - it is very hard to find a coffee shop that really understands what it takes to be a SKILLED barista. Anyone can heat milk up to temperature, but Persnickety is going to show you how to STEAM baby! Most importantly - I LOVE ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS (minus the coffee thief). Hospitality is my Jam!

Our monthly team meeting are really fun, and we get to be creative and offer our ideas. We get rewarded with fun patches to add to our aprons, monetary incentives, as well as words of affirmation. Working here has been a true blessing for me!

Working as CEO executive assistant has been a great experience that has allowed me to broaden my career skill set and abilities. It was a unique job that enabled me to bounce around on many different projects so that I always stayed engaged. Being CEO executive assistant still allowed me to bond with all of my coworkers and form amazing relationships with the rest of the staff, while contributing to a worthwhile business with meaningful goals beyond just serving coffee. It was an amazing experience overall and taught me so much about what kind of work I want to pursue.

One perk I really enjoy is free coffee. My favorite is the iced mocha latte. One thing about working here that might surprise people is the team huddles and the involvement from management; Not a lot of workplaces are that team oriented. While working here, I have learned a lot about food prep and food service, and I like seeing so many regular customers. My supervisor is very kind, understanding and she cares for her team members!
