Pros

Lovely & genuine clientele - most residents are quite cosmopolitan & extremely appreciative of efforts made to provide real customer service; they will celebrate you if you show care for them! Simple black uniform. Hearty, fresh & tasty meals provided for every 4 hours worked. Great camaraderie between cooks & servers! Cooks take their work very seriously, and appreciate when the Front of House does the same. Secure funding model provides for stable schedule & hours. Corporate-style overhead ensures simple on-boarding process. Medical-facility status requires tangible measures are taken during COVID outbreaks & other health-related incidents.

Cons

Extremely poor communication across senior management, middle management & entry-level staff. Communication is also poor between management & HR, so be prepared to "look out for yourself." Training is inconsistent across new hires & always inadequate, with virtually no management of an individual Server's day-to-day performance. Great first job for high school students, anyone who is avoiding adulthood or looking to quickly gain experience as a server & get out quicker. Unclear that any Servers continue in the Food Service industry. Not recommended for anyone who already has critical thinking skills.

Pros

The residents are incredible people who have incredibly complex stories. You grow attached to them as you work with them and they grow attached to you. I loved serving them every day. As well as the residents your coworkers will quickly become your best friends. The hardest part of leaving was leaving behind the relationships if formed with my coworkers and the residents.

Cons

After many complaints from within our department and from outside the department nothing was done. People were fired or forced out for almost nothing yet when the departnent threw things and yelled profanities at us nothing was done. Compliments from residents were spun to be complaints. There is no chance of advancement even with hard work. Management doesn't care about minimum wage employees and a manager said "everyone is replaceable in 2 minutes." Turnover is 500% in the dining services and the pay isn't enough to take verbal abuse. Servers will always take the blame and never management. Don't be surprised if you're chosen as a target and when you complain don't be surprised when nothing is done. My advice is to apply somewhere else. No one deserves to be treated as less than human every time they work.
