Bradley, Training Store Manager

Tell me about the best experience you had supporting your community?

I love when I get the opportunity to go to different schools and talk about Jamba’s F.I.B.E.R. and how the students can use F.I.B.E.R. to excel in school.

If you were a Jamba smoothie, which one would you be?

I am a dreamer, so for sure I would be the Strawberry Dreamin’. It kind of makes sense doesn’t it? LOL

Do it! The vibe, from the Support Center team all the way down to the part time team member, is one of support. We are all in this together, and it truly feels like that.

What is one of your best feel good moments working at Jamba?

I have had many, but the same theme resides. It really makes me feel good when a customer personally asks for the manager and tells me that their Jamba experience was truly “WOW!” I feel so good that they gave my team a chance to make an impression like that.

Rachel, Store Manager

Tell me about the best experience you had supporting your community?

I’ve worked a lot in my community in the past but one of my favorites is being a part of the SPARE (Recycling) club at my high school that bought 25 acres of Amazon Rainforest, making us one of the first carbon neutral schools in the nation.

What makes you feel good about working at Jamba?

That a person can come into Jamba Juice and leave with their day being a little bit better…I love being a part of that. Plus, I work in a place that always smells fresh and fruity. How awesome is that?

What would you tell someone considering working at Jamba?

Don’t consider it, just do it; I’ve been at Jamba Willow Glen for over three years and still love my job!

What’s your favorite part of your job?

People. I love all the interaction I have with people every day, both the customers and my team. And of course, I have a great manager that I work really well with

Kayla, General Manager

My favorite Jamba customer is a 4 year old boy who often comes in after preschool. His dad always gets him a Bright Eyed Blueberry and an Oatcake. He’s our store’s favorite customer because he knows all of us and knows what he wants. For him to already have the habit of enjoying the ingredients that are better for him is a thing to celebrate.

If I was stranded on a deserted island I’d want a Jamba Baseball cap because it would protect me from the inevitable sun I would encounter. If not a baseball cap then maybe some Organic granola, because if I needed a friend I could offer some to a parrot or some other tropical creature and we could chill together on the beach.

If I were a Jamba smoothie I would be a Caribbean Passion because I got a little sweetness and a little tanginess.

The number of opportunities Jamba has allotted not only me but many of my fellow team members are profound. After holding almost every position within a store I can tell you that the advancement process has not only given me the chance to succeed but has given me a better perspective for my future career opportunities. Jamba makes sure that every team member is set up for success.

My favorite part of my job is my team. We’ve become a healthy, happy family. When the going gets tough, we all are there to get the job done together. We have great teamwork that makes our smoothies taste better and lets our customers have a jammin’ time when they’re in our store. I know that we all share the same goal and we’re all willing to give 100% to reach it. Who could ask for more?

Jesse, General Manager

Making smoothies and serving great food is really just a means to an end, which is inspiring and simplifying healthy living!

What makes you feel good outside of work?
