Sweetgreen

Los Angeles, CA

Sweetgreen is a publicly traded fast-casual salad and grain bowl chain founded in 2006 by three Georgetown students and now headquartered in Los Angeles, with ~251 locations across 24 states. Store-level staff generally enjoy the free food and camaraderie, but corporate office reviewers cite significant turnover, office politics, and demanding hours with notably weak career advancement. Leadership faced public backlash in 2023 over statements dismissing student activism, and the company has bet heavily on robotic kitchen automation, which shifted the employee experience significantly.
